review 1: This was a pretty good memoir that gets a bit dragged down in "lawyerese". Berg is a good writer. He comes across as a very intelligent person so it is easy to believe he had such success as a lawyer. The first half of the book was very interesting to me. He mixes stories of his early caareer and his family in a way that captured my interest. The last half of the booklet me down a little, though I can't really put me finger on why exactly. All in all, this book really brings home the importance of family and throws in some bonus knowledge about the legal system for free.
review 2: I would probably give this a "2.5 stars" and I didn't it was that worthy of 3 stars. Interesting story of the author's family and their 'problems' within the family dynamics. Infide... morelity, divorce, betrayal, etc. I just don't know how this family wound up associating with so many losers in TX ? Sheer coincidence or just associating with the 'wrong people'. It would be the latter and not the former. I mean, when you have a bookie and gamble high stakes, one is apt to fall into the wrong side of the fence. Too much adoration and love for the brother (Alan) that was caught up in this lifestyle of "get rich schemes" - typical for a Jew. He deservedly met his fate, I'm sorry to say. It gives me more than second thoughts about visiting TX, a sh*thole of a place with more hicks than mosquitoes .... less
