      1 out of 5 stars mislead.......2004-03-28

      I was told this book had some writing and highlighting, yet when it got here (very quickly by the way on shipping) it had more than SOME! Every page in the first 15 chapters are highlighted and there are to many notes in it to mention. I am very displeased, i feel I WAS LIED TO - I BOUGHT THIS BOOK FROM-
      Kate 12888, AND I WILL NEVER TRUST HER AGAIN, PEOPLE SHOULD BE HONEST WHEN MAKING A BUSINESS DEAL- INCLUDING SELLING BOOKS!!!
      I WOULD NEVER HAVE MISLEAD SOMEONE OVER A TEXTBOOK! THIS I FIND TO BE CHILDISH- AND SELF CENTERED! ALTHOUGH I WILL NOW HAVE TO USE THIS BOOK- I COULD HAVE BOUGHT A CLEAN NEW ONE FOR $10.00 MORE!!!! THANKS FOR YOUR LEFT OVER JUNK! Kate 12888!!!!

      1 out of 5 stars Frustrating and disappointing and a waste of my good money........1999-11-03

      STUDENTS BEWARE !!! It is frustrating, disappointing AND a waste of my good money to have bought this book, only to later discover that I could not buy the subsequent volume to cover only Chapters 16-28. I now have to purchase Ch.ONE thru 28, because these money-grabbing scoundrels did not write/publish the follow-up ! I am extremely disappointed with having to re-purchase the first 15 chapters, which are now, to me, superfluous! They are a done deal! All I need is the textbook for ch. 16-28. The Study Guide/Working Papers for 16-28 are available for purchase...why not the damned textbook???

                          Book Description

                          Martin van Hees presents a new approach to the study of law - legal reductionism - which combines elements of legal positivism, new institutionalism and decision theory. From legal positivism Van Hees derives some fundamental insights into the nature of legal systems, but he also revises some of its key tenets. He argues that law can be reduced to facts; moreover, he re-establishes the relation between law and morality by arguing that law and positive morality are inherently related. He subsequently uses decision-theoretic tools to develop and defend his reductionist methodology. The second part of the study applies the resulting approach to an analysis of legal freedom. By showing that legal reductionism allows us to analyse the value of liberal legal systems, Van Hees makes a forceful case for including the study of law in moral and political philosophy. The book is accessible to a wide readership, including legal and moral philosophers, political theorists and social scientists.

                                      From Ellis Weiner, contributor to legendary humor publications National Lampoon and Spy as well as the New York Times, The New Yorker, and many more, comes a debut novel that's drop dead funny...

                                      For Pete Ingalls, being a P.I. means walking the streets, wearing a fedora, and solving crimes. So, far he's got the first two of those down. Not bad for a mild-mannered bookstore clerk who got hit in the head with a ruthless stack of hardcovers, only to wake up in a daze of outdated wisecracks, tough talk, and no recollection of his former life.

                                      Now, with a hard-boiled attitude and a thoroughly scrambled brain, Ingalls decides to open his own detective agency. He hires a mouthy dame as his secretary and the damsels in distress start showing up. Soon Pete's tracking down all sorts of shadowy characters-not to mention a real live dead body-with nothing to go on but a healthy dose of delusion behind his squinting eyes. And he's making a holy mess of everything...

                                      4 out of 5 stars Just how inept can one detective be?.......2005-07-17

                                      Peter Ingalls gets banged on the head by falling books in the store where he works and suffers amnesia. When he awakens, however, he is convinced that he is a private investigator. He proceeds to open an office and hire a wanna-be actress as an assistant who curses like a sailor and quits every five minutes only to regret it and ask to be taken back. Peter always obliges. He even hires her back when he fires her before she can quit.

                                      He has two customers who come in for help. One has a missing boyfriend and the other thinks her husband is having an affair. Using 1940s private eye lingo and dressing the part so well people think he's wearing a costume, Peter manages to screw up both cases. He decides that both the women seeking help are actually lesbians who are having an affair with each other. Meanwhile, an actual murder and disappearance take place that are connected to his two cases. If it weren't for his foul-mouthed assistant, he'd never get to first base on either of his cases because, in real life, Peter is a naïve mama's boy who lived at home until his accident. Peter's bumbling manages to cause all kinds of problems. His inept behavior, naïve reaction to bad situations and brawls with his assistant cause laugh-out-loud reactions. Peter does manage to dig deep within himself and rise to the occasion and solve the mysteries.

                                      In DROP DEAD, MY LOVELY, Ellis Weiner has created a charming character that you want to give advice to and help along. You actually find yourself yelling at Pete when he's getting ready to do something really dumb and telling him to lose the fedora and the double-breasted suit. His sassy assistant, Stephanie, adds a wonderful dimension to the insanity of the private detective's office and his clients aren't too sane either. It's a book that drags you into the action while entertaining you.

                                      2 out of 5 stars Tried to Hard.......2005-03-16

                                      This book could have been really fun but I think the author tried too hard to include "noir" sayings. And I can't imagine that anyone in this guys family wouldn't have tried to see what was wrong with him. And are we supposed to believe that someone who is this dumb could actually come up with all the clever sayings? And that he was able to act like this after a week of reading detective novels? Will not read the follow up book -- this was just painful to get through.

                                      4 out of 5 stars Drop Dead Funny.......2005-03-12

                                      All Pete Ingalls remembers is waking up in the hospital. He has no recollection of the case that put him there. Still, he figures that the best things to do is get back to work, so he finds a new office, hires a secretary, and does just that.

                                      See, Pete thinks he's a hardboiled PI in the very classic sense. And the two dames in distress that come calling seem to need him. One is looking for a missing lover. The other wants proof that her husband is having an affair. And while Pete has no clue what he's doing, his secretary, fortunately, does. But will it be enough to get them both through this in one piece?

                                      I'm not familiar with the classic hardboiled detectives of the past, but the little I do know makes it obvious they were the inspiration for this hilarious tale. It's rather obvious to us early on that Pete has amnesia and is delusional. We keep getting clues about his past that put the pieces into place. The mystery plot of the story is also done extremely well. There were several nice twists up until the very end, when everything was wrapped up nice and neat. And the humor! I was laughing out loud the entire way through the book at the confusion of the other characters to Pete, his own confusion over literal interpretations, and his hilarious commentary on life. It was right up my sense of humor.

                                      So why the four stars? This book had foul language that I'm not used to running into in a book. Lots and lots of it. It seemed to get better as the book went along, which I appreciated. There were also several cases of sexual innuendo I didn't care for and a sex scene that I skipped over but still could have done without. I'm well aware this will not bother most people out there, but it bothered me and lowered my enjoyment of the book. Since I'm the one rating it, I took that into account.

                                      Overall, I enjoyed the book enough to give the sequel a chance. Here's hoping that it's as funny as this one was.

                                      This book is brilliantly clever and fun. I stayed up till four am reading it, then immediately read it again upon waking. Best fiction I've read in a long, long time.

                                      5 out of 5 stars A Disgrace.......2004-04-14

                                      This centaur of a book--half mystery, half comedy--will prove equally upsetting and confusing to readers of both comedy and mystery. What is so funny about someone being killed? What is so mysterious when the private eye who tells the story is so obviously a deluded fool? As I make clear on the Unofficial Ellis Weiner website (www.ellisweiner.com), Mr. Ellis Weiner has, in this novel, outsmarted both himself and the reading public. The narrator--a hard-boiled, big-city detective who thinks, among other things, that "the Fonz" is an international police institution--commands very little credibility. And yet I have given it five stars. Why? Because I believe as many people as possible should buy it and read it, the better to expose to the world the disgraceful performance it is. The more people read this, the more people will be prepared and motivated to not read the next work foisted on the public by this too-clever-by-half author, who is too clever by half. Yours truly, Prof. Renee Willis, Euphonia College.
