The player(s): Yours truly as herpty derp
The scene: Last semester of 3L year, herpty derp is sitting in front of her laptop at an ungodly hour. It's Reaping Day at her law school and she's about to storm the virtual gates of registration. At the same time (which means all the time), she's questioning her life choices.

*Herp to self*
Herp: I'm about to graduate and I have no marketable skills. What classes should I take before reality and student debt hit me like a mack truck?
Herp: Maybe M&A? Because I can't imagine an existence more fulfilling than reading 1000 page asset purchase agreements while a pasty-looking middle-aged partner micromanages all life out of me.
*Herp registers for M&A*

...four month later..
Herp: My M&A final is in five days and I haven't done any reading for the class because I suck at life. What does EBITDA mean??!! Is it the name of a short-lived Silicon Valley startup?!! A brand of artisan chocolate made out of luwak poop???!
*PANIC PANIC PANIC*
Herp: I should order supplements. I should order ALL THE SUPPLEMENTS.
*Herp looks at bank account*
Herp: I should order one supplement and not the ingestible kind.
*Herp browses Amazon for M&A supplements when she should be studying. Herp decides on Bainbridge's M&A. Herp splurges on one-day shipping. Herp crams the book in two days.*

...Day of exam - Herp goes in with little sleep and too much coffee. Four hours later...
Herp: I suck at M&A and I suck at law school and I suck at life. Law school was a bad choice.

...Five weeks later, Herp checks her grades...
Herp: I DON'T KNOW HOW THIS HAPPENED BUT I GOT AN A IN M&A THANKYOUBAINBRIDGEYOUM&AGOD. LAWSCHOOLGRADINGMAKESNOSENSE BUTIMNOTGOINGTOARGUETHIS.

*End scene*

Law school is still a bad choice.

Bainbridge is a phenomenal writer, and this book does not disappoint. It's clear, concise, and covers all of the basics. Law firms should assign this as mandatory reading for all new junior M&A lawyers.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Overview and right amount of detail
Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2013
Verified Purchase
I bought this to study for my M&A final and I was so happy that it covered most everything that we discussed in class and that it went into the right amount of detail. I hate when a supplement glosses over things or if it is too in depth to allow you to learn a subject quickly. I got an A in the class so I would definitely recommend it. I don't think it will cure every gap in knowledge but it is a great resource for studying.

This book has a boring storyline with terrible character development. Plus, the medium-sheen pages make it difficult to read outdoors. I prefer pages that aren't this shiny.

2.0 out of 5 stars Ridiculous amount of typos
Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2019
Verified Purchase
This book is adequate as a supplement but the amount of typos is absurd. It's not small things like missing a period either--there are full sentences/paragraphs disrupted by the lazy proofreading going on here. Bainbridge needs a better editor.

Edit later in the afternoon: I downgraded another star because the treatment of the main cases is really not to my taste. There is a significant amount of "The Delaware Supreme Court says this, but this makes no sense!" going on in here. Frankly, I read supplements for a concise explanation of the law, not a lengthy dissertation on what should've been decided differently. This has been a frustrating read in that regard. There is entirely too much color commentary. Its main value is in discussing the pre-merger negotiations, letters of intent, etc--I would not find it helpful if I did not already have a solid grasp on Unocal, Unitrin, Revlon, Time, and QVC. I take issue with a lot of the discussion about Time in particular.
