 Not up to West Hornbook Quality May 6, 2005
Matt Garber (Sacramento, CA United States)
14 out of 17 found this review helpful
I own all five first year West Hornbooks (Property, Contracts, etc.) and they all are a great help except for this one. It seems every time I have a question, this one doesn't have an answer. I love the other West Hornbooks, and after using the others, I just can't put this one in the same category for breadth, helpfulness or clarity.
 The King of Criminal Law Hornbooks February 27, 2008

This hornbook is the master work on substantive criminal law, frequently cited by all courts, including the United States Supreme Court. It analyzes all the questions that are not peculiar to a particular state. Where different views are presented by various states, that's covered.
The hornbook weighs in on questions where there are differences of opinion, in numerous references to the "better view," without denigrating the positions that are not designated as the "better view."
Anyone who orders this hornbook will be dazzled by the clarity with which it addresses a complex subject: substantive law.
Great Resource!! October 21, 2008

I am only a 1L but this book was recommended to me by a practicing attorney. This book is great for a more in depth analysis of topics and concepts discussed in class.
