Anyone read this book? Is it any good?

it's worth a read. It's WAY better than PLS or Law School Confidential.

Ya I like it so far, I started it yesterday and am about a 1/4 way through the book. Pretty interesting read, though so far, I haven't read much new information.

Haven't read this, but I'm going through Getting to Maybe.

It's making me see what I should have done on the test, and killing my confidence about my performance. However, I don't know that I would have gotten as much out of it if I read it before school started and I didn't have time during the semester so... what can you do.

I read this last week. It's pretty good, though there's nothing groundbreaking in it. Probably would have been better for me to read this before 1L.

Just wanted to give this a bump. Just got this book and am starting it now to prepare for August. Any new thoughts on this book? Thanks!

Can you read it like a sort of "glimpse into past experiences" of law school? Like, I read Turow's book and loved it, but more as a pseudo-fiction book than anything I thought would be useful. Would you say it's similar to that, or is it more a "how to" like Law School Confidential or Planet Law School (neither of which I have any desire to read)?

I couldn't get more than a few chapters into PLS...it just sounds like some disgruntled dude on a rant. Or is it just me?

Liked LSC, thumbing through Getting to Maybe and probably gonna grab 1L of a Ride.

Also read Lawyer Boy. Entirely engaging and amusing. If anyone is going to DePaul (like me!) the dude who wrote it is a DePaul grad. It's funny seeing deans' and professors' names in the book, gives you an idea of a few of their personalities.

Inygma, if you want to read something that will prepare you for your future King Hall career, google "erotic Harry Potter fan fic"

It's definitely not a how-to book. Yeah, it's more just for entertainment and to take a look at law school (namely, HLS) back in the day. Not a bad read

Also: I read both LSC and PLS II. PLS is def a waste of time; I would not recommend it. LSC was kinda cool though. I don't know how much of it I'll actually take with me into LS, but I didn't hate the book

Sounds exactly like the Turow book ("One L"), which I really enjoyed. I'll look for it.

Wow. I'm retarded. Total RC fail. I was talking about One L by Turrow the whole time. I actually haven't read 1L of a Ride. lol My bad

Just to confirm for everyone else, 1L of a Ride is nothing like One L. It's more like Law School Confidential and I would actually recommend it right after Getting to Maybe.
