Initial DNF Review: i did enjoy reading it but the fact that the person who gave it to me started giving me the cold shoulder kinda dissuaded me from finishing 

Finished Review: basically only a book for attorneys that have an interest in environmental law - it’s laden with legal jargon and has lengthy descriptions of trial procedures. I found the first third pretty interesting, particularly the mystery of it all, but the trial itself was tough to get through, regardless of how much I wanted to find out what happened. The ending
was pretty disappointing. I know that it’s the reality of the situation, but I feel like the build up just to reveal that he basically lost everything was such a let down.
Also, there were a ton of names and characters to keep track of - I wish I had a list in the book somewhere. If anything, I did find the picture of a flawed legal system important, and I was finding it hard to put the book down during its engaging chapters.
