No.

Contracts are fun, but wtf is the battle of the forms.

[Catherine Dukelow · Rating 4 out of 5]

It did what it was supposed too. Honestly the professor made it more interesting. Now I have to start studying for the final, so we’ll be spending a bit more time together I guess.

Only book Ive ever wanted to use as a weapon against myself

[Izzy · Rating 4 out of 5]

7/10 recommend. Some pretty interesting cases, I would love to meet Homer Buffaloe in person and talk about tobacco barns. Let's hope I kill this exam--check back on December 13th.

Not for the faint of heart. had to add her to meet my #readinggoal

[Morgan Hinds]

We literally did read every page of this 1,200 page book within three months, and it has been so rewarding.. Contract law, I am sad we are departing!

[Karolyn · Rating 3 out of 5]

Probably the best book I read all semester. As an unexpected side effect I am now concerned that everything I say can be made into a binding contract in a court of law. Stay safe out there!!! Best case: the gold digging neighbor of Dorman v. Swaney. Honorable mentions include: the OG influencer Lucy Lady-Duff Gordon, 2 time lottery winner Homer Buffaloe, the fraudulent dance studio, and Mr. Kent who only wanted his boujee Reading Pipe. ABC. Always be contracting.

DNF & Would not recommend 😇

[Samantha Della Fera · Rating 1 out of 5]

no.

[Elizabeth · Rating 3 out of 5]

I read 515 pages for this ONE class and while I will use the SAME book next semester - 515 pages is more than I read in most of any one book - so I am counting it as a read book for 2009 - and the 6 chapters we will read next semester will be a 2010 book for that goal . . . .

. . . what did I learn from this book? that I don't like contracts but I can't live without them

[Janeli · Rating 3 out of 5]

I had to read it for my contracts class. I wish it were more concise. Some of the notes are not necessary.

[Grace Parrish · Rating 4 out of 5]

Lmaooo

[Asma]

tbh did NOT read as much as I should have because after the second time kristen holmquist called on me I was DONE being cold called for the rest of the semester. But the blood swear and tears that have fallen into this book (or would have fallen had I not made the economically sound decision to find the epub) means I've got to log it... please send thoughts and prayers for my final in two weeks. Promissory estoppel? you will always be famous? Anticipatory repudiation? I love you. Battle of forms? UCC 2-207??? You are NOT invited to my birthday party.

I actually enjoyed this textbook. Beginner friendly, and the notes tell you everything you need to know. Very comprehensive (maybe too comprehensive in some sections, but it depends on which cases you read and what you're expected to know). Maybe it was just the way my prof used it, but everything slotted together using this book.

[McKenna · Rating 2 out of 5]

Did they forget the existence of the backspace button in the second half of the book? Ngl a lot of those cases should have been edited doooown. Shout out to the juicy cases, literally the only thing that got me through close to the end 🫶🏼

[Shabbir Hamid · Rating 3 out of 5]

I didn't like this casebook. The way the notes and cases are formatted doesn't flow well. It's confusing. However, the online features are good.

[Jen]

Not bad. Especially with a good professor. (Who is mentioned on pg 493, Professor Van Alstine. Love his class)

[Gabriel Kaufman · Rating 4 out of 5]

First class of law school ✔️

[Nicole Delgado · Rating 5 out of 5]

It is, in fact, a book about contract law👍

[Eve · Rating 3 out of 5]

These absolutely count towards my reading goal 🫠

[Samantha · Rating 2 out of 5]

Norbert Kmoch was the only good thing about this book.

[martina essert · Rating 1 out of 5]

hate hate hate hate like literally shut up about the random codes that have no pertinence to the material we need to understand. edits were way too dense

[Josie Legato · Rating 2 out of 5]

Never again

[Sophie · Rating 1 out of 5]

Not my least fav, but still not my most fav.

[Molly Harrell · Rating 2 out of 5]

If you're going to judge a book by its cover, let it be this one.

[Nat]

i deserve to put this on goodreads

[Erin Mann · Rating 3 out of 5]

I don’t like that the book will ask questions and not give answers (they’re within the index) but a good layout of cases
