I picked this one up on a bit of a misapprehension, seeing it mentioned in a New York Times column by a writer I enjoy. I thought it would be a deeply researched examination of the flaws of our legal system and the farcical behavior by its practitioners, but what I got was a millennial memoir with a few instructive anecdotes and the balance taken up with fairly routine personal matters presented as interesting. I'm not sure why a certain age cohort believes that its every move sparkles with originality, but someone needs to tell them that previous generations also got drunk, got high, and had sex, and that there is nothing less interesting than reading about people who are constantly getting drunk or high.
