The only one I'm interested in is the one without a review. What didn't you like about Legal Systems Very Different From Ours (or were the others exceptionally good?)?

Legal Systems was extremely derivative (I knew pretty much everything Friedman was writing about) and failed, I thought, to derive the insightful comparisons and contrasts I expected of Friedman.

Very disappointing. I have been looking forward to this book since he mentioned he might write it (years ago). Thanks.

Well, you can always read it yourself, it's online. Unless you know as much as I do about Saga Iceland law and American Amish/Mennonite communities etc, you probably would get more out of it.
