If you're a student and this is the selected text for class, my condolences. Me and a spoon could tunnel out of Shawshank in less time than it takes to get through a chapter.
It's titled "for Paralegals" but federal bankruptcy judges and BK attorneys are a more appropriate audience; the language is balky and many sentences are Olympic-sized paragraphs. I've had to resort to algebraic principles to negate the triple and quadruple negatives.
The chapters are organized in lock-step with the Bankruptcy Code. This aspect is useful if you're a BK attorney already familiar with the Code. If a person were to start with the Code (and a SOLID understanding of the law) and use this book to enhance his understanding, that would also be useful. But as the primary tool for learning about bankruptcy? Hell no. This format requires that any current topics are constantly referring to recently covered chapters and future chapters to be complete. I suspect this text was written for an entirely different project and recycled for the paralegal market.
There is a surprise bonus to tackling this book. Everything you read afterwards will seem wonderfully clear and lyrical. I read a chocolate chip cookie recipe after midterms and nearly wept.
