For all of you who love reading but haven't been able to get your hands on an intriguing book in a while, look no further. You have found "the one." This book is jammed pack with hours of fun reading! The 1,232 pages of statutes fly by! I originally bought this book to read to my young children (ages 3 and 5) before bedtime, but I've since discovered that it's perfect for all ages (yes, even that old mother-in law that you can't get rid of). I must admit, that I was skeptical as I read the first section of the book which covers definitions used throughout. The 3.1 lbs also weighed against my favoring the book. However, it really picks up when you get to section two. For all of you who love leasing goods (don't we all!) there's even a section for you: section 2A! I'm telling you, this book is for everyone! At first my husband hated it because I wouldn't put it down (as I cooked, I read; as I ate, I read; as we...) but then he read a couple pages and LOVED it! I even had to buy him his own copy (he couldn't borrow mine because I continue to re-read it. You really notice a lot of nuances that escape you during the 7th re-reading). I can't wait for the next year's edition! So, if you're kinda on the fence on whether or not to shell out the $49.50--go for it!!!
EDIT: I would like to thank all the wonderful people who found this review helpful. I know them, and I know how much they love this book. I think it's safe to say that this review speaks for all of us UCC lovers!
I'd like to also add that this book does more than tell a story through a statutory lens; it also contributes comments after every section. So, if you're like me and can't figure things out for yourself, you'll benefit from the commentary of the brilliant authors! But the comments do more than, well, comment. They also provide a special nugget of information that's not provided in the statute itself. If you enjoy reading the statutes, you'll love the comments just as much. It's like falling in love (with the statutes) and then falling in love again with someone else (the comments after every statute). So, what did the publisher do to remedy this situation (remedies, by the way, are also discussed in this lovely text)? They merged them together! It's the perfect polygamist lifestyle! You get to enjoy them both at the same time! I can love my statutes AND commentary without guilt!
So if you haven't purchased this book yet, DO IT! Best $49.50 ever spent. Now, excuse me while I go read Section 2-710 to my sweet children as they fall asleep. I can only hope that tonight they'll be dreaming of the UCC!
