Well written, easy to understand! 
I bought this book to help me with my ILEX criminal law exam. Anybody who has studied ILEX will appreciate that the text is not always written in the most user-friendly way! This book made the subject (particularly for me the area of mens rea) much easier to understand. The book is written is a clear, straightforward way, and gets to the heart of the topic, so that the information is easily assimilated. I would thoroughly recommend this book.
amazing
It got me a first from Oxford.
buy it

Concise, written in an accessible style, uses plain english and still has academic commentary.
After having a bit of a battle with the recommended textbooks for Criminal Law when I studied it last year, I started looking around. I had used the Torts book in the same series which was fantastic so thought I'd give Herring's book a shot.
All I can say is don't let the compact size put you off. Herring has succeeded in covering an impressive amount of material, doesn't skimp on the detail and still includes academic commentary, though a nice proportionate amount. Herring has a very accessible style of writing and simply uses plain english, which is well needed for some of the more complex topics.
The layout of a textbook makes a huge difference and this book is ideal with clear paragraph divisions and sub-headings. I was also very impressed with the case notes sections at the end of each chapter, which really obviate the need to buy a casebook as well as a textbook.
I really enjoyed Criminal Law, but used to dread my original textbook which was far too dry, wordy and contained too many of the author's own thoughts - not very helpful when you're preparing for tutorials and probably even worse when revising!
Luckily this book saved my life! I would say it is a very good introduction to the subject, excellent for quick reference and quite honestly more than sufficient to do well in exams.
