Anonymous Lawyer Audiobook (Unabridged)

" A delightful read, until the end when the plot wobbles into a letdown. "

" This is one of the funniest books I have ever read! However, it is probably more funny to me as an aspiring lawyer, but nevertheless I highly recommend it. "

" Scathing view of life inside a biglaw firm. Could be some truth to it. Published as a series blog and email entries. "

" If you are a fan of lawyer jokes, this book is for you. I laughed out loud many, many times. The book is made entirely from emails sent to and from a hiring attorney at a big law firm and his hilarious blog (which does actually exist). "

" This is a fun read for those of us going into law. Nothing more, nothing less. "

" This was the funniest book i have read in a long time. It is written by a real lawyer and is such a fun, entertaining read. It gives you stereotypical way of how we would view lawyers in the way they think but its written in a funny way. "

" I enjoyed reading this book, it was very easy to read given its format (blog posts). I could also relate to a few characters in the book, given the rigors of trying to fit in the legal profession. Not bad at all. "

" I used to occasionally read bits of the blog "Anonymous Lawyer", and thought it was an amusing spoof on life in a big law firm. The book of the blog, however, is a bit awful, as I imagine most books-of-blogs are. It consists of blog entries and emails, with a pretty pathetic plot woven in between. While the over-the-top character who writes the blog entries is amusing, it doesn't work in the emails when the ott character is presented as a real person. Not believable at all, to the point where I became bored. Should have left it in blog form, I think. "

" Being the wife of a lawyer I found this book hilarious and frightening. I finished the book late at night and couldn't go to sleep because I just kept thinking about The Jerk. "

" If you are an attorney who has worked at a large firm (and especially if you're one of the many who just got laid off), I encourage you to read this. It's pure humor, but extremely satisfying. Non-lawyer discretion is advised. ;-) "

" Funny from start to finish! An inside look into a law firm and its practices. Truly encompasses different aspects of comedy, from dry humor to ridiculously absurd. The ending was a bit weak, but the whole book is worth a read or a listen(I listened to it on audio). "

" Quick read and at times scathingly funny, but I bet I'd have liked it better if I was a lawyer... the ending was slightly satisfying... "

" Everyone should read this book. I loved it. I just don't get the ending... "

" Slightly over the top with a predictable ending but it was wickedly funny! "

" Hilarious easy read; a must for anyone who has ever worked at biglaw "

" I laughed out loud multiple times. Who knew that law firm hijinks could be so consistently funny? "

" One of few books that made me laugh out loud! Absolutely hilarious, witty and clever. "

" Funny. The inner workings of a high profile lawyer's mind as he plots to be Chairman of the firm and as he views the summer interns and law in general. "

" interesting insight into something i have zero perspetive on: the life of a 'big firm' lawyer...written like a weblog with occasional email entries made for an unique format. quick read...funny parts...weird ending. "

" A modern epistolary novel told through e-mails and blogs. "

" It is rare to find a book that so accurately describes the practice of law. If you want to know what it is really like to be a lawyer, read this book! "

" The book is structured as blog posts and emails, which has always been a voyeuristic pleasure of mine. It's clever and surprisingly fun to read, despite how much of a jerk the 'partner' is. I want to know more! "

" Liked this satire on the world of lawyers by a supposedly highly placed employee of a leading law firm. Not much chance to see other people's viewpoints because it is always told in blogs or emails, but wickedly funny within these constraints. "

" I laughed at it a few times, which is why it gets three stars. It was only funny because I worked in a place just like the one the author describes ... even though he pretends its satire. I'd call it more "creative non-fiction." A quick read/guilty pleasure. "

" My mother bought the book for me, so I felt obliged to read it...never again. "

" hysterical. and not just a bound copy of the blog. "

" I enjoyed reading this book, it was very easy to read given its format (blog posts). I could also relate to a few characters in the book, given the rigors of trying to fit in the legal profession. Not bad at all. "

" This is only 4 stars for lawyer-lit geeks. But I thought it was hilarious! "

" Scathing view of life inside a biglaw firm. Could be some truth to it. Published as a series blog and email entries. "

" Loved this book!!! All time favorite....it reads via emails, phone messages, etc...couldn't get enough of it! "

" I laughed out loud multiple times. Who knew that law firm hijinks could be so consistently funny? "

" Improbable premise, depressingly accurate. "

" A pretty funny satire on big law firms. But the ridiculousness of it started to get a little old by the time I was about half-way through. Still very funny, though. "

" Fun to read when you're stuck in a law firm, and satisfying to read after you've escaped. "

" Ever worked in a law firm? this book will make you giggle and possibly cringe depending on your position in the firm hierarchy. "

" Hilarious book. Good for light reading. "

" very creative. i really enjoyed the format that allowed for my imagination to fill in the gaps inbetween each blog post or email. "
