Format:Paperback
As a student at a prestigious law school in the UK, I was very unfortunate that the school picked this book to be our key text: looking back I am indeed SURPRISED that they did! Even the tutors themselves didn't like it,and anyone who skims through it can tell that it looks more like a wordy casebook than a textbook. My preparation for tutorials was ALWAYS a painful affair with this, I would have hardly made any notes at the end of hours of reading as I could never discover what I was supposed to know for an exam. As other reviews have stated, it is very long winded: the book clearly lacks structure and is a suicidal starting point for anyone starting out their first year like me. The book seems to be nothing more than copy-pasted judgements of various cases: there is hardly any explanation/theory, so if you skip reading the off-putting lengthy case bits (believe me they are a torture to read!), you end up being deceived that you have covered the 'main' bits already, when in fact you know nothing. I bought the Law Express torts book out of sheer fear after failing multiple essays in the month running up to the exams, which was when I discovered how many things I was missing out by using this book! Indeed Law Express aided me more in a month than this book did for a year, though I recommend getting some other key text instead of Law Express. Save yourself, dont buy this book.

This book gives you a clear introduction to tort law, and it is very good to start reading this book when approaching a new topic. It helped me a lot to understand tort law in the beginning. It will not, however, give you a detailed analysis, and you will need another textbook for a more details.

Using this book, I achieved a first in Tort on the Graduate Diploma in Law. Yes, it is broad but it is also readable and accessible, especially when compared to other books such as Winfield and Jolowicz.

Easy to use, a great starter text
I actually own the 3rd edition rather than the 4th, so apologies for that, however I doubt there is much structural change. Read more

Fantastically useless
I got this book as part of the study pack sent by University of London. This book makes me wonder if UoL is intentionally switching to lesser textbooks to hurt students'... Read more

Long-winded, disorganised and messy.
I've just finished the GDL, and unfortunately, this book was set as the course's key textbook. The book is very long-winded, disorganised and sloppily written. Read more

Not ideal
I found this to be a bit too simplistic and not exactly tailored to the needs of an undergraduate law student. Get Hepple and Matthews instead; it is really a lot better.

Far too much for the GDL
This book is unbelievably long-winded and will leave those on the GDL struggling to understand and digest it all in the limited time available. Read more
