This book isn't as strong as 1L, as there's not really that much tension in the story, especially among the characters. In fact, with the notable exception of the girlfriend, we don't get to meet too many of Lax's classmates (woe to you if you read fast, as some seemingly throw-away characters do return later in the story, and with no index, it's hard to refresh your recollection). Lax isn't quite as sarcastic as Heather King (who wrote her law school story in Parched), but he is pretty funny, and peppers his story with the ubiquitous legal footnote to explain the law, magic, or portions of his prior life. I was slightly disappointed by the ending, as the title is "Lawyer Boy" (a sarcastic nickname), but we're never told if he actually made it through all three years, and whether he passed the bar exam. It's still a quick and funny read -- especially if you've already finished your first year of law school, or if you know someone going through the process.… (plus d'informations)
