Fantastic

This is one of the best books I've read. I get Randy Cassingham's emails, but I really like having it all in one volume and being able to buy it for my family and friends. On the surface, it's an amusing book, but when it sinks in that these are real cases, it becomes mildly alarming. It's very well organized and Randy picked some great cases to put in the book.

Worth every penny, but...

This book is worth every penny you'll spend on it. Nearly every page will leave you bug-eyed with incredulity, and many of them will also cause you to irritate anyone nearby as you constantly say, "You're not gonna believe this one!" The appeal of the book derives from the combination of the wackiness of the real-world legal cases Cassingham has selected for examination and his lethal style. He's one of those few writers who can channel Ambrose Bierce, if you see what I mean.

Now, there is something that worried me a bit. I agree with Cassingham's thesis that the US legal system is being crushed under the burden of frivolous lawsuits brought by greedy lawyers representing defendants who won't take responsibility for their own actions. However, after reading page after page of examples, there's a temptation to throw the baby out with the bath water. That is, the system seems so dysfunctional that maybe it would be best to abandon it.

The reality is that in the US, suing someone is what we do instead of fighting in the streets. The system is certainly irritating and expensive, but what's the alternative?

Despite that reservation, I really liked the book. It's rare to get so much enjoyment for so little money.

A Frightening Appraisal

Randy really shows many of the idiocies of today's legal system. He doesn't play favorites, writes clearly and concisely, and, perhaps most importantly, he offers excellent suggestions on how improvements can be made. My only criticism is that many of his examples are so new that final dispositions are still in progress. Of course, this also can be used to show the problem with the system is still with us, not a historical relic. This is definitely a book for anyone interested in improving modern society or who just wants to read about some of the unbelievable things people will sue over.

Another great Cassingham book!

I always love getting a new Randy Cassingham book and this one did not disappoint. I got one for my parents and my in-laws as well. Randy's humorous writing style combined with the nonsensical legal system makes the perfect combo. I highly recommend this book!

GREAT BOOK!!!

This book is so fun. I get his weekly e-mails and just love having all this info in one place. When I get down, I pick this up and read the ones that I have marked "favorites" so that I laugh. Some people just aren't very smart. Randy is though and gets lots of kudos for publishing something that highlights the REAL problems in this country and the need for reform.

Thanks Randy! You do a great job!!!!
