Alright class text. The Okrent was a bit more user-friendly and better laid out.

This book was recommended to me by my Torts professor in law school, and it quickly became my best friend through my Torts courses. It's a quick read that hits straight to the point and explains things clearly, including all those pesky little nuances in the laws. Highly recommended for any law student studying Torts or anyone else interested in the law.
