 Contains the facts, shame its too hard to read. November 8, 2008
R-B (Wales)
This was the recommended textbook for my contract module, so I expected our lecturer had picked something accessible and concise. Wrong. The author writes in self-indulgent prose, which yes, whilst eloquent and fancy, completely misses the point. Its a textbook, it should be there to get the points across in an easy to understand way.
Its target audience is supposedly students, yet as a student I find it a real struggle to make sense of the book. It uses fancy but completely unnecessary language, and quite alot of Latin. I cannot speak Latin, therefor have to sit with the Oxford Dictionary, a latin dictionary, oh and did I mention the legal terms aren't well explained either so add a legal dictionary too.
Now I will give this book some praise, the points made are good and there is probably all the facts you need, but finding them is just a nightmare, so for that reason I have to give it only 2 stars.
 The additional 1.90 is well worth the investment January 26, 2008

Initally I purchased the five book bundle for law students from Pearson which included Law of Contract by Paul Richards. Unfortuantely I found Law of Contract by Paul Richards to be poorly written, confusing, and laking clarity on several points. So instead of suffering through another term with Law of Contract by Paul Richards I decided to buy Law of Contract by Michael Furmston as my textbook for second term. I must say I have found Furmston's book on contract clearer, easier to read, and possessing more information than Law of Contract by Paul Richards. Any law student who is cosidering buy the Pearson bundle which includes Law of Contract or buying Paul Richards's book on contract separately will find the additional 1.90 for this book to be worth the investment (1.90 is the difference in price between the Law of Contract by Paul Richards and Law of Contract by Michael Furmston at the time of writing this review). Law of Contract by Micael Furmston is the must have contract book for any law student.

This is a superb account written by one of the country's leading authorities on contract law, Michael Furmston, Emeritus Professor of Law at Bristol. A lucid account of the law is now prefaced by an historical introduction to contract that will help students better understand why contract law today is the way it is, and written by the living god of legal history, Brian Simpson.
Law books just don't get better than this.
