The DEFENSE IS READY : MY LIFE IN CRIME

Rating:
Summary: Interesting tales... bad writing.
Review: As someone interested in criminal law, this book was captivating and at times didactic. She is obviously a skilled defender, but sometimes her actions make her seem like she is willing to let murderers run free on a legal technicality. That's hardly admirable, but her hard work certainly is. The text is badly composed, with simple words and some unique grammar. That's why I say interesting book, bad writing. Don't read this book if you can't look past wierd sentence composure to nuggets of interesting criminal law stories.

Summary: Leslie tells it like it is!!!
Review: Whether you favor the Prosecutor or the Defender, this book is a great read for any woman who has an interest in criminal law. By nature I tend to favor the Prosecutor-I bought this book because I'm a law student and had to do a defense summation for a class-I figured Leslie might open my eyes to the world of criminal defense, AND SHE HAS!!!! Leslie tells it straight, but is also entertaining and humorous and HUMAN. I would never have guessed this woman was only 5 feet tall, which is even more inspiration for me because I'm the same petite size. If there are any men out there reading this review, this book is for you if you want (AND NEED) to understand strong, smart women!!!
