Can’t say it’s the most exciting material but it gets the job done.

And by "read," I mean I finished the chapters required for the class I was taking. After all, who would read a book like this for fun? Well, there might be one or two more chapters that I will peruse since they sound interesting. Typical textbook. Meaning that there were not nearly enough pictures. And too many big words. I do not like big words, Sam I Am. But, as far as textbooks go, the subject matter was interesting. I was surprised by how some of the details of law play out in large arenas, and how many misunderstandings I had, and that are rampant in society.
