CAN I BURN IT? I WILL BE SO FUCKING THRILLED TO NEVER THINK ABT A TORT EVER AGAIN

(Unless I go to a plaintiffs firm and ngl that’s a real possibility)

[Danny Sitko · Rating 3 out of 5]

Any fans of gossip girl, glee, or real housewives will love Tort Law: Responsibilities and Redress. Every case is full of drama and tea in a very public legal battle between two absolute divas.

The book started out strong with the intentional torts chapter, I was gasping out loud in the Mussivand case. However, the middle and end of the book are a bit of a drag. While there are definitely highlights of the 1000 ways to die-esque Edwards case, the authors’ insistence in including characters from England throws off the momentum, like when Ed Sheeran suddenly appeared in game of thrones.

All in all, I feel like in the negligence and strict liability chapters the authors lost the magic they had in the beginning.
