Our class didn't finish this book and I didn't do some of the reading I was supposed to but I hate this book.

To be fair, I think it's just a basic law book but it was just so dry and the way it would give you 15 different state statutes to explain a crime was actually really confusing.

Side note: I met the author and she is really great and is probably an excellent professor.

Personally liked the textbook. Case excerpts perfectly covered the material without being too lengthy.
