5.0 out of 5 stars Read this prior to your first yeat at any school!, 3 Aug 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: One L: the Turbulent True Story of a First Year at Harvard Law School (Paperback)
Scott Turow's first book is a true inspiration to those who are entering law school or any school for that matter. A true account of his first year as a Harvard Law student, Turow explains how he narrowly escaped a nervous breakdown from studying so hard. As a Harvard alum myself, Turow's description of life in Cambridge is exact in every detail. A friend of mine was a classmate of Turow's and his character is actually mentioned in the book. He confirmed what their first year was like and praised Turow for such an accurate account. If reading about students studying all day and all night motivates you to get better grades..since that is all that matters at most schools, then this book is for you. If you are entering undergraduate or graduate studies to slack off and disapear from society for several years, don't read this book. It would really depress you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining & Instructive : A MUST READ FOR ALL PRE-LAW, 22 Jul 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: One L: the Turbulent True Story of a First Year at Harvard Law School (Paperback)
Turow writes candidly about his first year experience at Harvard Law, warning us of the travails of law shcool yet inspiring us with the insight such an experience brings. He is glib and perceptive, clearly expressing the many intricate, bitter-sweet moments of being a "One L." Turow's book is a magical blend of entertainment, instruction, inspiration, and conciliation. I fervently recommend this book, especially to anyone planning to attend law school (like myself).

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly entertaining and informative, 11 Aug 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: One L: the Turbulent True Story of a First Year at Harvard Law School (Paperback)
One L kills two birds with one stone. It is entertaining as well as informative. I have read it twice now, and it is should be read by anyone even thinking about going to law school in general, not just to Harvard. The details are the best part. Turow explains all the legal jargon in a clear and thorough way.
