Book Reviews of Property
Book Review: Not bad...
Summary: 3 Stars
This is probably one of the easier to understand case books I have read. It is incredibly dull, but it covers all the concepts well and includes some useful graphics (as well as some pointless ones). It's certainly worth its cost.Book Review: Kinda Lousy
Summary: 2 Stars
This is easily the WORST casebook I have ever owned.
LOUSY for learning future interest and possessory estates.
LOUSY for learning mortgages.
LOUSY for learning adverse possession.
Mainly lousy, lousy, lousy.
Don't buy this book without purchasing a hell of a study aid b/c you won't learn jack from it since it's horribly written.
Don't buy this book w/out purchasing a hell of a good pair of reading glasses b/c the print is practically microscopic.
I can't believe I have to suffer through another property course w/this terrible book.
Book Review: confusion, eternal confusion
Summary: 2 Stars
Despite the opinions of other reviewers on this site, this is not a well written book. I am speaking of the Future Interests section in particular.
In order explain concepts, the book uses terms that are defined later in the chapter, and simply gives examples without clarifying.
I think the authors are capable of explaining these concepts in an understandable way, but fail to do so. This is evident once you use the Gilberts outline written by Dukeminier, where concepts are well defined. Perhaps this is a ploy to sell more Gilberts. Regardless, the textbook leaves much to be desired.
Book Review: Great value, great delivery
Summary: 5 Stars
The book was exactly as described and the delivery was very fast thanksBook Review: An Oasis in the Casebook Desert
Summary: 5 Stars
Easily the best casebook I have had yet. The cases are interesting and easy to follow. The authors have made a shocking break with casebook tradition and have included notes which clarify and enlighten, rather than bewilder and confuse. Occasional pictures relating to cases are also included. Always a joyful surprise when faced with the evening's herculean reading assignment to get a whole page gratis! Admittedly, the professor doesn't come with the book, but this book definitely takes you half the way towards loving property.
