Book Reviews of Property (Examples and Explanations)
Book Review: AMAZING!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a Harvard law student and I went CRAZY preparing for exams. (as did everyone else) but a wise 3L gave me some advice that saved my life. Here is goes: Use Gilbert's on Prop to learn the black letter law of the cases you will be studying. Then use West Group's High Court Summaries to figure out in simpler terms your case. Read your cases. After you learn each subject, do the problems in Examples and Explanations to really apply your knowledge. Just working through each of the examples and seeing the subtle "shadings" of the law was enormously helpful. I know a lot of people get frusterated by this book because the examples can be difficult, but I found them to be harder than my exams which made testing a breeze. After using E & E, you may have lost sight of the forest for all the trees... So for the week before the exam, the nutshell guide should become your bible. It is clear, concise, and presents difficult but very clarifying examples of applications of laws after each law you learn. It was the perfect compact tool to "bring you back into the forest." I got an A in property (am VERY proud of myself) and it was patly because of this book. I highly suggest you buy.Book Review: a disaster
Summary: 1 Stars
Those who have given this book 4 stars or more are out of their minds. This book is a total disaster - it is simply not written well at all, and actually demonstrates a confused understanding of property law. You are far better off with a commercial outline.Book Review: Property Hornbooks
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is the best of the Property hornbooks. The Sprankling book by Lexis is also good. This one is better because it has less fluff in it. This book is so superior it is obvious to anyone who uses it.Book Review: A Property Bible (A Must Have!)
Summary: 5 Stars
This book has been a godsend. As with most E&Es I would heartily recommend this edition. The examples and explanations are clear and concise. At any rate, grab this E&E and run with it. It really comes in handy during crunch time, and that is when supplements show their true value. The book rates high for both personal and real property.Book Review: A MUST HAVE!
Summary: 5 Stars
Of all the property hornbooks this is the only one which will translate into a high grade on a law school exam. The Moynihan book is to small and covers only Prop 1 material. The Singer book is to voluminous, this book covers every testable subject and leaves the discussion of untestable material to the property nerds. Look no further, this hornbook is all you need to get an A in property, if you actually read it it of course.
