"There are many, many types of books in the world, which makes good sense, because there are many, many types of people, and everybody wants to read something different. For instance, people who hate stories in which terrible things happen to small children should put this book down immediately. But one type of book that practically no one likes to read is a book about the law. Books about the law are notorious for being very long, very dull, and very difficult to read. This is one reason many lawyers make heaps of money."

Re-reading this series due to a wave of nostalgia that washed over me a few weeks ago. I LOVED these books as a kid and I'm happy to say this little book held up to the test of time. I enjoyed it just as much now as I did back in the day.

As an adult and a law student, I laughed at all of the subtle digs at lawyers. Maybe reading this book as a kid is subconsciously the reason why I am studying law :)
