A well cited book full of wonderful stories and arguments; it defied my expectations of being a dry book, which it absolutely isn't. A must read for Marxists and legal professionals to understand the intricacies of law's contradiction not just as a part of the superstructure but also a weapon of the masses. The vibrant aphorisms and metamophors being implemented as weapons of arguments make this book one of a kind.
In all transparency I haven't finished this book, but whatever portion I read left an undeniable impression on me. Will come back later for a more comprehensive review after I finish this book.
