Good textbook...
I'm finding my torts class difficult at times, so I'm glad to have this book for my text. It has a lot of examples to illustrate each concept, which is helping me grasp all the ideas pretty well. Also, the book is not nearly as expensive as a lot of textbooks, so I ...

CISSP Certification All-in-One Exam Guide, 4th Ed. (All-in-One)

Shon Harris

McGraw-Hill Osborne Media, 2007

Wouldn't have passed without it!
I can honestly say that if it weren't for this book I probably would not have passed my CISSP exam. Unlike other prep-guides, Shon engages the reader and keeps their attention. Also, this book doesn't read like a "read this book and pass an exam" book. It reads like a ...

To Kill a Mockingbird

Harper Lee

Grand Central Publishing, 1988

Excelent Book!
I've always heard really good things about the book, To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. The first time I tried to read it I had to put it down because I got really confused at the beginning. However, I tried it again later on and I realized what a good book I had put ...

The Appeal

John Grisham

Delta, 2008

A rebuttal to the 1 and 2 stars:
Grisham a 1 or 2 star author - even Charlie Brown could do better than that on this book. I don't understand the very low reviews? Are you paying attention to the social issues included in this book? I grant you this is not his best book and not a 5 Star... but 1 and ...

Thomas Jefferson, Second Continental Congress, ...

Wilder Publications, 2008

Very handy reference
Read it, know it, live it. If things keep going they they have with people not caring about the Constitution, we won't have. You know the adage, ignore it and it will go away, it's very true for the constitution. The 2008 RNC is a standout example of this where the ...

Happy Hour Is for Amateurs: A Lost Decade in the World's Worst Profession

Philadelphia Lawyer

White Collar Blues
This book really spoke to me. I've worked in cube farms and white collar corporate offices since I was 17, 95% of the time wishing that I was anywhere else. The author put what I was thinking and feeling into words much more clear then I could have and really made me ...

Don't Pee on My Leg and Tell Me It's Raining: America's Toughest Family Court Judge Speaks Out

Judy Sheindlin

Harper Paperbacks, 1997

Brutally Honest!
