Summary: Lots of great material
Comment: This book made for GREAT packing material when I moved back home from college.

There were enough pages that I was able to use them to protect all kinds of fragile things, including all my dishes, glasses, etc. Even after packing all that, there were so many leftover pages that I ended up using them to help secure things in other boxes from rolling around, just like a professional packing company would have done.

I regret throwing the remains of this book away when I was done packing. I had many hundreds of pages left that I could have used for future packing material. I could have probably used one book to move two or three times.

I'm only docking a star because after using several hundred pages for packing material, the spine started to get flimsy and I have a feeling that it would not have held together through the process of ripping out every single page.

Also, there was lots of verbiage in this book that can be found from other sources, such as the Internet. Also, the Internet doesn't weigh so much and can fit in your pocket without breaking your spine.

Summary: Kathleen Sullivan takes hatchet to Supreme Court cases: law student rejoices
Comment: Any text that can get Brown v. Board down to 2 pages gets my vote, especially in a semester in which I had 6 other classes. The book trims everything down more than any other casebook I've seen, but leaves enough meat on the bones to discuss in class.

Summary: Your standard Con-law Casebook, but not as beefy as some
Comment: I used this text in my first amendment class so I only read pp. 740 ish to the end of the text.

For the most part this is your standard Constitutional law text, with few principal cases, and pages after pages of note cases to follow. Unlike most law textbooks, Sullivan does a good job of doing what most law book don't do--she gets to the point and doesn't waste much time getting there. The material flows together quite nicely, although some the cases could have been edited better, as some of the editing leaves some important information, but all in all, if this is your con law text, then you shouldn't have too much trouble getting through it.

Summary: Deep and insightful.
Comment: Written over a series of centuries, primarily consisting of the delusional ramblings of 9 old white men, the plotline of the novel is loose at best. Fortunately, the protagonists, ever-shifting, are a compelling ensemble of rapscallions and rebels. Although the ending is ill-defined, the core values can be applied to a wide variety of situations. I'll probably buy Sullivan's next novel.
