I cried when I realized that this was the 1st law book I ever finished. (Well, technically speaking, I am wrong because this is only a teensy-weensy part of the civil code.) Nevertheless, I owe it all to my awesome professor who was the very reason I read the book enthusiastically. Without him as a guide, I doubt I'd ever finish the book.
Insane how I've dreadfully spent the past few months reading this book from time to time just to survive my deptals. I could recall wanting to whimsically read law books just for funsies and for me to have a grasp on laws and be a better adult, but turns out it wasn't easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy type of shit-- it's like getting a blood out of stone !! This is such a hard read, I swear. I did have fun in moments where I am not forced by time to fasten up and take it all in, but other than that, it was a blood bath. All the legalese and shit makes me want to go nuts, because how could the author possibly make such an easy concept so difficult to understand (most of the time...? sometimes...?) I don't know if I am only going through a lot or is simply a huge ass idiot who can't understand some articles without re-reading it for the hundredth time. But hey, I'll give myself credit where its due because this is the first ever law book I've read, and I fear that it won't be the last ;))
All in all, it was the one that made me realize that I could be something MORE. And for that it deserves its four stars. I would've given a perfect five if it didn't make me want to break down and lose my shit and sacrifice lots and lots of sleeps (my sanity included).
So the one star deducted is for all my sleepless night and my precious sanity that has almost been lost (gotta give them justice-- but well, that's only a natural law, not a civil one... haha!)
ps. I absolutely adore my law book, it's littered with various annotations. My classmates always teases me about it, how I should've posted some video with a "drag path" sound in the background, but well, it's cute. I've poured my all into it as best as I could. Mwehehe. If anyone of you wants oblicon notes, feel free to hit me up! My notes remains incomplete but I'll attempt to finish it during vacation. Plus, I don't want it to stay unused.
9:3—This is a proclamation by God and His Messenger for mankind assembled on the day of the greater pilgrimage, to wit: God may dissolve treaty obligations with associators and so may His messenger. If you repent, then it will be better for you, while if you turn aside, know that you cannot escape God. Announce painful torment to those who disbelieve, except for those associators with whom you have already made a treaty, provided they have not failed you in any respect nor backed up anyone against you.
I will read it again for the purpose of my brothers assignment. But this book is a truly amazing when you are into it. You will wonder and think like a lawyer while reading it. Happy reading everyone!
