Title : Principles of Equity and the Law of Trusts (Principles of Law S.)
Author : Alastair Hudson
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : excellent book- recommended reading for any law student
I completely agree with the previous review. The main points are well explained and succinct. The book will help any law student to understand the difficult and complicated nature of the law of Trusts. Having had the chance to read sections of other books, I found this one by far the easiest to understand. The writing style is clear and concise without being over elaborate and confusing. It is an excellent law textbook and I highly recommend it to any law student.
Title : Equity and Trusts (Nutshells S.)
Author : Angela Sydenham
Rating : 3 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Good, but needs updating due to the Third Party Rights Act
The Nutshell books are good revision aids, but it is not helpful when they do not keep up with the current position regarding the law.
The introduction of the Third Party Contract Rights Act has fundamental implications on this area of law. If it is being taught and examined upon, then the publisher needs to update this book.
Title : Immortality Made Easy: Everything You Always Wanted to Know about Wills, Trusts, Probate, Marriage and Foundations
Author : Paul Rampell
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : This is an awesome book.
This is an awesome book. The author makes fun of wills and death. It is like a book in the "Dummies" series, since it is written in easy english. I recommend it to anyone who is beginning their last will and testament. Rampell's humor is self-deprecating ---- lots of lawyer jokes.

Title : Williams on Wills
Author : Sir William J. Williams
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : The best book of its kind
I cannot recommend this book too highly. It combines a full account of the law relating to wills with a volume of precedents covering virtually every common situation.
Title : Trusts (Nutshell S.)
Author : Angela Sydenham
Rating : 4 Stars out of 5.
Summary : A review of the Nutshells book on Equity and Trusts
I would definitely recommend this book to all those who are studying Equity. Unlike many legal text books, this one is written is such a way that it accessible to all, both the beginner and those who wish to clarify points on equity that they have studied. It provides the reader with a common sense approach to equity and while it can sometimes simplify some points of law, it generally provides a sufficiently detailed explanation of Equity and helps the reader to better understand this difficult subject. Another advantage to this book is that it does not saturate the reader with endless lists of cases, instead concentrating on the most important cases and providing explanations of all necessary facts in an accessible manner. In order for this book to be used as an easy reference guide while studying, the index is clear yet sufficiently detailed enabling you to find certain aspects of this area of law quickly and easily. In conclusion, this book is ideal as both a study guide and those who simply have an interest in the subject. While perhaps not detailed enough to be used as a textbook on its own, it provides a great reference point for any law student at an affordable and extremely reasonable price.
