Good for beginners, but likely to upset anyone else!

If you're buying this book for yourself, spare yourself the headache. It is certainly not of any academic value, and considering what I've read so far, it does even appear to be a business law book. The book chronicles very simple and basic legal matters, and presents these topics in such a way, someone interested in a thorough discussion of them would likely become upset.
As I said before, unless you have a very basic interest in law, ignore this book as much as you can. Also, because the book is not state-specific, there's not much you can get out of the book. It presents general information, which is of no use to those who want to learn specifics.
I've given it two stars just because it would probably be good for a beginner.
Decent starter.

From what I can tell this book does a great job compressing business law into very concise chapters. I for one don't like long drawn out chapters about the same subject matter. I lose interest after the first few hours of reading any text book. The chapters move quick enough to really make me feel interested in the subject. I use this book for a intro into business law and think is does a pretty decent job aiding my education.
Only good if you're completely new.
