Summary: The typos kind of annoy, but the book is informative
Comment: Like many students in law school I had to read this book for my Torts class. Our professor did an excellent job with a fairly mediocre book by explaining the concepts and cases at length (and thus eliminating the need for me to go and buy supplemental materials). There are sections of the book that you can gloss over (and this is precisely what our professor had us do) unless you really need to know more about tort wars or statutes of limitations etc. This book is something of a necessary evil for learning torts, but as a reference book it doesn't really cut it. If you want a more clear and concise book that you can read or peruse or use as a reference then this is not the book for you. It's strictly a textbook, but one that does the job. It could have been done better and without the typos (surely a computer spellchecker could have been used as this is the 21st century for crying out loud!). I'll be selling my book back this coming semester simply because I don't think there is anything I need from this book that I can't get elsewhere and for the record I actually enjoyed learning about torts. I would thank my excellent professor more than this book though.

Summary: Very difficult to understand
Comment: If you must use this book for class, save yourself a lot of headache and get Emanuel's Outline or flashcards on the subject or Gilbert's Outline. This book is very difficult reading compared to my other other law books. Law professors should really stay away from it.

Summary: Easy and Interesting
Comment: I am astounded at the previous reviews of this case book. The typos, though present, do nothing to detract from it's purpose - to deliver brief and interesting cases that explain torts in a sensible and logical order.
This book is a pleasure to read, and it CERTAINLY is not diffcult to understand. It is in fact the clearest and most vibrant law text I've encountered. Students having trouble finding the majority opinion need to read the whole case; those not understanding the order of the tort law presentation need to read the entire book.
