No, I didn't finish the whole textbook in 8 weeks, but I finished the portion that my Business Law class was about. As unbelieveable as I find this, I actually enjoyed the class and got a lot out of the book, though the book can be sketchy on a few of the minor details. But that's what lecture is for, right? This book is an excellent source for details on contract law and product liability, things that all people in the business world should know about.
