 Comedy Genius March 31, 2005

Briefly: Hudson's summaries at the beginning and end of each chapter are concise and comprehendable - a good starting point for seminar preparation or revision. His comedy comments (on various topics such as Sunderland Football club and Eddie Izzard) will also help to keep your spirits up. Hudson makes a tough subject slightly less daunting...
 Quantity not quality December 18, 2004

This book is extremely poorly written and should only be read after you feel confident enough with your knowledge of the subject to be able to see all its innaccuracies, if at all. Reading this book provides a risk of wrongfully doubting your understanding of the subject. The major problems are that Hudson equates terms that mean different things (e.g. by beginning a paragraph saying a rule relates to beneficiaries but then using the term potential beneficiaries in its place without clearly stating that the rule applies to them as well) and an serious lack of structure that would especially confuse if this was the first book you read on the subject. Resist the temptation to buy the thickest and newest book and buy a quality book instead e.g. Hanbury and Martin's Modern Equity.
 Thorough but a little careless October 1, 2001
2 out of 5 found this review helpful
You certainly except a book of this size to offer a very thorough account of the subject matter. Andrew Hudson does not dissappoint in this respect, His clear knowledge and clarity are a breath of fresh air for this student who tends to find that most law books are written by reseasrchers eager to impress their friends but not to help the student. Cavendish, the publishers are the exception to this trend, and despite being unfashionable as a result are certainly gasining popularity with the undergraduate market.
Perhaps the only downside to this book, is the carelessness of teh editing. The subject matter is difficult enough without having to secong guess the writer.
The book is certainly overpriced, but the difficulty in finding readable textbooks means this must be overlooked. Go and Buy it.
 excellent book- recommended reading for any law student January 13, 2000

I completely agree with the previous review. The main points are well explained and succinct. The book will help any law student to understand the difficult and complicated nature of the law of Trusts. Having had the chance to read sections of other books, I found this one by far the easiest to understand. The writing style is clear and concise without being over elaborate and confusing. It is an excellent law textbook and I highly recommend it to any law student.

As a Greek student whose native language is not English, I found myself pleased to be reading such a book. Equity and trusts is not an easy subject;nevertheless, this book is very easily understood. Its structure is clear with all the important points sufficiently highlighted to the reader. It is not a law textbook that just sets out the law. It includes useful commentary, without yet going into futile and long discussions. I would really recommend this book to every law student. It is a guarantee of success in this subject of law.
