Summary: Standing the test of time.....
Comment: I actually felt myself getting smarter while reading this book. Outside of just covering "technicalities" of studying law, he also offers a fascinating perspective on the study and practice of law in relation to the lawyer's life (money/finc. security as primary motive for entering legal profession.) Also interesting are his views on making/missing law review and the effect this has on 2Ls. Overall, an excellent read, time well spent, and very deserving of the word "classic."

Summary: very awkward writing
Comment: Professor Llewellyn's writing style is not easy. It's not an antiquated style, but rather the style of an obviously erudite man whose mind is very active and whose thoughts are not always felicitously expressed. If you've ever sat in a class with a professor you thought brilliant but a little "nutty," this book will remind you of that professor. Many of his phrases are either obscure or seemingly illogical. My advice is that if you insist on doing a close textual reading of a book, do not read this book. If, however, you are interested in picking up general themes about the study of law and its development from a distinguished--and somewhat obscure--legal mind, then this is the book for you. It is not, emphatically, an easy book to read. To put it simply: either Llewellyn had a poor editor or his editor never heard of Strunk & White's Elements of Style.

Summary: Uncle Karl's Strong Medicine
Comment: If you are going to law school and you want to practice law, Iam afraid you are going to have to buy this book. But, ... does Karl really need the money?
If its not required reading skip this book for now. Buy it when you get a job. Then read the book, and give it to a poor law student.
This text is required reading at the University of Miami School of Law. I read it once and tossed it aside. Actually, if you read The Bramble Bush do so aloud, or at least take notes. Otherwise, good luck staying awake.
