 Crim Law explained thoroughly June 21, 2008
I bought this book because of the reviews that says how helpful it is to law students as they prepare for final exams. I believe it's reputation precedes itself. I just bought this book two months ago and had my boyfriend send it to me to the Philippines. I haven't finished reading it yet. That would be almost impossible. But with every page I read, I understand a little bit more about Criminal Law to prep me for law school.
I bought an older edition, and I already think it's good. Probably the newer edition is better.
 Mediocre May 12, 2008
The Examples and Explanations series is usually very helpful for my studying. However, this particular book has inaccuracies, and the explanations are difficult to understand. I do not recommend buying this book for anything but sample questions. Don't rely on the authors for the answers to those questions.
That said, do check out the other E&E books - they're great.

This book provides a cursory overview of criminal law at best. If you're a fan of Glannon, don't get this book. You'll be disappointed. For example, while courts and scholars debate the effectiveness of distinguishing between general and specific intent crimes, it is probably something you're going to have to learn. This book gives it one page. Worse than that is that the authors literally spend more time saying that the distinction is worthless than they do on helping you understand the difference. In fact, they don't actually try to define either; they provides a couple of mere examples of each.
This is just an example of the problems with this book. Trust me, you'd be better off skimming a treatise.
Almost Worthless December 23, 2007

This book is not in the same league as other E&E books. It is not very clear, the charts are confusing and some parts of the book give downright wrong information. If you have a teacher who emphasizes the MPC, this book is a total waste. Otherwise, it's a total mess. Do NOT use this book to teach yourself the course because some of the information is wrong and unless you already know the material well enough to pick out the bad information, you will be screwing yourself. I would not recommend this to anyone.
Glannon for enhancing studying December 19, 2007

Any time I'm studying a subject that has a lot of meticulous ins and outs I turn to Glannon's Examples and Explanations to make certain I understand the subtleties of the subject.
I was glad to have Glannon for Criminal Law, we'll see if it helped to push my essay to the top of the grade pile.
