I'm a law student who required to read a lot of cases and compulsory readings, I got no enough time to read other the non-required readings so listening to this favourite book saves my time and I comprehend easily, the narrator brings me to a new level of experience!

Very clear and energetic

Boring. As a lawyer I did not enjoy it. I would imagine non-lawyers would be bored out of their minds. The first hour was about the history of law ... snooze snooze. I stopped after that. Title looked good but not worth it. It was like a lecture from a boring law professor.

Too much history about law

I'm a lawyer and I bought the book thinking that it might offer tips for me to be a better practitioner. While there were certain tips, the delivery was extremely slow. It took about an hour for the author to just get to the actual point. It was painful to sit through.

Get to the point already
