Property: Introduction to Law

I picked up this book because I was unable to get through my standard Hornbook on property. Let's fact it, although comprehensive, most Hornbooks are too comprehensive and the material makes for dry boring reading punctuated by multiple citations pointing out the inevitable contradictory rulings or exceptions. This book however is a gem. Although not comprehensive in each topic, it does cover the bread and better topics very adequately. The writing is such that the book is easy to read and the points come clearly across. The author even includes "hard" cases in which a particular topic is discussed with arguments for and against a certain position taken in Property Law. I would recommend that for those finding their traditional book tough going, buy this book and read the relevant chapters first and then go back to your text which will be much more comprehensible. Overall, I would highy recommend this book as it provides a sound foundation with clear examples, straigthforward writing, and effective communication.

This is a good review for a standard property course. However, this book has drawbacks because the subject matter covered in the text is limited and may not ecompass everything taught. Definately recomend that if you purchase that you pick up another supplement.
