Initially Puzzled But Ultimately Pleased

I was expecting a book about small pastries (I LOVE pastries!), with perhaps lots of lush, full-color photos of tasty raspberry-jam-filled confections (I LOVE raspberry jam!). But, to my initial disappointment, I instead found a book explaining some kind of legal rigmarole about suing people for damaging persons or property. Despite its dry, abstract subject matter, this book actually turned out to be an extremely gripping read. (I devoured it all in one sitting, staying up all night because I just had to know how it ended.) Even if you're only interested in opening your own little patisserie and spreading joy to people through your talent with filo dough, I highly recommend this book anyway: After all, you never know when a customer might slip and fall in your shop.

My professor loved it!

I bought this book, but I happened to be lucky enough to have a wonderful torts professor so that I never even opened it. However, with that said, I still had experience with this book. My teacher used the examples from it constantly in class to help us understand torts, and it was wonderful. My professor openly advocates this book and many of my classmates swore by it. I do think it could use a little help on the negligence section, but if your torts professor was as horrible as some of my fellow 1Ls, then I highly recommend you purchase this book as a supplement to quiz yourself and make sure you've got those prima facie cases down pat, inside and out.

An Introspective Masterpiece

If you want to study Tarts this is a must read. I'll often quote from this book after some awkward moments of silence during a dinner date. Believe me the Tarts love it.

A Helpful Supplement

This Glannon book is not as fabulous as his Civil Procedure Examples and Explanations. Nonetheless, it is a good purchase. I found it neccessary to also purchase a commercial outline. The best sections in this book are those on intentional torts and affirmative defenses to them. The chapters on proximate causation and the "zone of danger" put into focus many concepts that a commercial outline or class discussion alone cannot. I also found the chapter on writing a good torts exam to be quite useful. Overall, a worthwhile purchase.
