[Michael I · Rating 1 out of 5]

Singer is more focused on being cute and corny than concise or clear.

He doesn't give you information in the chapter that is needed to solve some of the examples. Then, seemingly rejoices in having tricked you. Also, the questions are not clear. He should specific that he is looking for an explanation under the MPC and common law. The teacher should not put the onus on the student to figure out what the teacher is looking for. Some of the explanations includes material that he hasn't covered yet in the book.

For a study aid, and not a textbook, to be this poorly organized and confusing is pretty sad.

Didn't read all of it, but would recommend as mandatory reading before a criminal law class.
