Customer Reviews

An alright reference book
This book is a part of the Pearson 5 book bundle that normally is sold to law students. Like the other books in the bundle this book has similar problems with layout and clarity. However the issues are not as prevalent as in Law of Tort or Law of Contract.

If you are looking for a supplemental book or a book that might be easier to understand regarding UK constitutional law then this book is an alright selection. However if you are considering the bundle from Pearson I would recommend buying this book as an individual and then take some time to find books that are suitable for your reading style. From my experience with the 5 Book bundle I have so far had to purchase two new books (Contract, and EU Law) and I am in the process looking for a new Tort book due to the poor layout quality of the books in the bundle. Had I purchased each book individually then I would have spent less than buying the bundle and discovering that the books did not meet my need.
