A great way to start a journey on the road of Jurisprudence. Content is well balanced with style of presentation to ensure easy reading. However the book focuses more on certain aspects (legal positivism, Dworkin, Hart, etc) of jurisprudence than others (natural law), not complaining though. And oh, the occasional humour and quirky comments really makes this book be on a league of its own!

A succinct and well-written book that serves as the perfect introduction to students of Jurisprudence. It shuns the approach larger books take and impresses upon the reader the basics along with the occasional British humour.
