C&A: Critical and comprehensive
I found this book to be quite comprehensive for the C&A course, as well as critical enough to present different view points from other scholars on most of the topics. It's historical approach to contemporary issues can be challenging to comprehend at first in so much as its relevance doesn't seem appropriate. My advice is to take your time reading it. And discuss it with your peers. With the assistance of one of those exam preparation "everything-you-need-to-know-to-succeed-in-C&A" books, I managed to achieve a 2:1.

A very good read
The author says the British Constitution is entrenched.

Does this mean it is lying in a ditch somewhere?

A wordy, unclear and self-indulgent textbook
I currently study on a GDL programme, and was given this textbook at the beginning of the year, to be used as the set-text for the course. I find the book to be lacking clarity, unnecessarily and infuriatingly wordy, and to engage in self-indulgently long discussions about nothing very much. Look for alternatives; I've had to.
