Book Reviews of One L: The Turbulent True Story of a First Year at Harvard Law School
Book Review: A Must Read for the Prospective Law Student!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are considering going to law school, you should pick this book up before you make your decision. It will make you laugh at times, but also has the capacity to make you analyze your own abilities and desire to succeed. It gives you an inside look at the emotional rollercoaster you jump on when you enter law school. It's even a good read if you have already "been there, done that". If you are into books about lawyers and the legal mumbo-jumbo, you might get a kick out of the trials and tribulations of a soon-to-be lawyer. I highly recommend it for pre-law students, law students(not that you would have time to read it), lawyers, and any wanna-be's out there.Book Review: Turow's warped view of law school
Summary: 3 Stars
Before I tear into Turow, I have to admit that a lot of his perceptions of first year laaw school are close to the mark. He also captures well some of the hysteria that goes on during the first year. That said, you can't take his personal reactions to the law school too seriously. After my first year I realized that Turow was a little weasel and a geek--most people don't act the way he does in school.So take this book with more than a grain of salt, but don't let it freak you out.
Book Review: A look into the inner workings of Harvard Law School
Summary: 5 Stars
"One L" is a must read for anyone who has ever thought of going to law school. The book takes place at America's oldest and most exclusive law school, Harvard. "One L" recounts the tough first year of law school and the unending quest for the top grades, a seat on the Law Review, and of course, the top jobs. This is a great book and I highly recommend it.Book Review: a must summer read before entering law school

Turow writes candidly about his first year experience at Harvard Law, warning us of the travails of law shcool yet inspiring us with the insight such an experience brings. He is glib and perceptive, clearly expressing the many intricate, bitter-sweet moments of being a "One L." Turow's book is a magical blend of entertainment, instruction, inspiration, and conciliation. I fervently recommend this book, especially to anyone planning to attend law school (like myself).
