I can't believe how redundant this book was. I mean, verbatim, same statements over and over and over again. I do not understand how this got past any editor. And lawyers are supposed to write concisely! Its not that Powell doesn't have good points; its that there is not enough material to stretch over 200 pages without being extremely repetitive. This should not have been a book. It should have been an 11-12 page article, published in a bar journal. Again, she does make some good points but I didn't like her attitude toward contract attorneys (namely, of course, a junior associate would do a better job reviewing a document than a mere contract attorney!) In reality, in this economy, many highly trained and intelligent attorneys are being forced in contract work. But I digress.
