Read more like a reference book. This was the textbook for a white collar crime class in law school. The material was dry and monotonous. My wife took a picture of me sleeping while reading. In small doses it was fine for learning a particular topic that covers statutes and significant cases. Don't try to read a lot all at once if you need to learn the details. The material is dense.
