Book Reviews of Illustrated Guide to Civil Procedure
Book Review: A riveting legal thriller from start to finish!
Summary: 5 Stars
An Illustrated Guide to Civil Procedure, Written by the literary titans Michael Allen and Michael Finch, captivate the reader from page 1 to I-6.
The book is a chilling narrative of institutionalized ageism, told from the perspective of both the Prosecution and the Defense. The writers weave a web if intrigue as they guide you through one of the most exciting and heart wrenching legal cases in American History - that of Otis Olman and his struggle as the downtrodden everyman against the sinister and omnipresent corporate entity known as Full Moon Sports.
There are many thought provoking and conscience wrangling questions for which the reader is to ponder, such as:
"If Tweedy had not made a Rule 50A motion at the close of all evidence, would he now be permitted to make a motion under Rule 50b?"
Questions like these are meant to make the reader think, to search his soul for the very essence of what the question is REALLY asking - should a faceless monolith of a corporation really be allowed to stomp on the dreams of a modern day Tom Joad, that of Otis Olman?
Not since Ken Keysey's "One Flew over The Cuckoo's Nest" has there ever been a cast of characters so lifelike, so well written, so real. Otis Olman is the McMurphy to Tweedy's Nurse Ratched. He's an ever present entity ready to strike down the hero.
To ruin the twist and turns of this novel would do it disservice. I feel that this book has all the makings of a literary classic - the character dept of Tolstoy's War and Peace, the gut wrenching twists and turns of Steinbeck's Grapes of Wrath, and the ultimate in detail description of the legal slaughterhouse - the courtiser l'abattoir de pi?ce, if you please - reminiscent of Upton Sinclair's The Concrete Jungle.
Do yourself a favor and get this book. If not, a little piece of you may be Rule 11'd.
