Review # 1 was written on 2010-04-05 00:00:00 Kenneth Maliga I am surprised to see this obscure tome listed on Goodreads. I would not recommend this to the casual reader, nor even to a law-obsessed autodidact... in fact, I doubt even a masochist would derive any perverse pleasure plodding through it. But if you happen to be one of those rare folks who practices forfeiture law (whom Stef refers to as the office's "Bob" - sitting alone in a cubicle around a dark corner; perhaps more accurately dubbed "Milton"), then this is your Bible. Over the last twenty years, Stef drafted most of the legislation that has become federal asset forfeiture law. That makes learning from this book a bit like learning to make light bulbs from Thomas Edison. So prop open your eyelids with toothpicks, down a few Red Bulls, and dive into the icy dark depths of civil and criminal procedure, where you will learn to wield the scythe of law to reap the harvest of crime for the public granary.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-03-16 00:00:00 Christopher Brightbill Alexandra Kollontai was the only woman on the Central committee of the Bolshevik party that took power in Russia in 1917 at a time when before the revolution women didn't even have the vote. The biography has good insight into the inspiring journey Alexandra took from criticising the feminist movement for focusing for equal voting rights when poor women had no child support and had to work 14 hours to when she was essentially exiled for her opposition to the new economic policy. The end of her life is quite depressing when she saw many of her revolutionary friends persecuted by Stalin and eventually purged, but ultimately it shows the incredibly inspiring character of kollontai. It's quite a long book so I'd only recommend if you're interested in the relationship of Bolshevik socialism and feminism but if that's what you're into, this is an amazing recount.
