Customer Reviews

Good for reading, interesting for research.

This book takes a very famous case and turns it into an interesting story. You may, however, find it not very useful for the purpose of research. But I used this book for a research paper and found it very helpful. The author adds many detailed descriptions of what's happening, and it makes me feel involved. Also, besides simply commenting on the Supreme Court case, the author traces the case all the way back to its originating in the three-judge court. The author also discusses the feelings of the public and both sides of the issue. It is very well-rounded. If you are interested in the issue of abortion, you should read this book!
