Casenotes--Worthless...don't buy it, 2009-01-06
Worthless...description was totally different than the actual product. Very disappointed. If I could rate this with no stars that is what it would receive from me.

Very Good., 2008-12-30
Very good. It was a bit hard to begin the book, as it opens with the history of contracts, of which I care little in light of an impending final. After breezing through the first chapter, though, Farnsworth picks up the pace and makes very good sense of the material. The book is a good supplement for any contract class.

Farnsworth...., 2008-11-25
My contracts professor worships this guy and assigns regular readings from this text. I really don't understand the overwhelmingly positive reviews. I find Farnsworth's style to be horribly boring and his explanations, while excellent, are much more easily obtained from other sources. For example, the E&E for contracts touches on most of the same concepts (albeit in less detail) as Farnsworth, in a much more readable and understandable format. Chemerinsky's "ship book" is also an excellent supplement. For diehard contracts junkies, Farnsworth probably rocks, but if you're just looking to understand the information and do well in class, I would go with some other book.

A Great Aid for the 1L, 2008-11-24
This hornbook is helpful for 1Ls. Farnsworth covers many of the same cases that he addresses in his casebook, but he attacks them from a different angle. One helpful hint is to become familiar with the index. Often it will lead you to your sought answer faster than trying to find it elsewhere. I would highly recommend this book for students who struggle in contracts or who want to obtain a higher mastery of the subject. I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars. It would have been 5 of 5, but sometimes the blackletter law does not quite jump off of the page. This is a must buy before resorting to Gilbert's or Legalines--both of which are sketchy in terms of the depth of content.

Helpful for clarification of concepts, 2007-11-17
I have found this book very helpful. The way that concepts are presented from cases and class discussion can be disorganized. This book is very helpful in clarifying and organzing concepts.
