Reading like a Lawyer: Time-Saving Strategies for Reading Law like an Expert Book

The lack of reviews for this book is what prompted me to write this note. The bottom line is: you can skim the chapter headings and get the book's value.

I found many ideas in the book to be overly theoretical, and I'm sure I'll quickly forget them when faced with a long reading assignment. I expected a practical guide to help me read more efficiently, but instead I got a long-winded book that should have ended on page 50.

The book does more to reassure students and help them "familiarize" with the subject matter than what it promises - to help students read better. Legal reading cannot be divorced from legal analysis and this book is quite lacking on the second. Even the end of chapter exercises doesn't have sample answers. How am I supposed to improve my reading and analysis skills if I can't see my own mistakes?
