Action not excuses	Customer Rating:
Law abiding people know something is radically wrong with the justice system in the UK. Judge Judy confirms what all sane people intuitively know - that softness encourages anti-social behaviour. What I learned is that We, the observers, can't sit back and expect "Them" to do something. Take responsibiilty. Ask questions. Ask awkward questions. Then ask more awkward questions.

An excellent read

Customer Rating:

I've just finished reading this book. I agree with some of the other criticisms that the book doesn't necessarily have a flow to it, but that's because Judge Judy addresses a different area in each chapter of her book.

People with a liberal view of matters may find her observations and criticisms caustic and disagreeable, but I found them to be sheer common sense. If you have kids, you should be expected to support them, and not to expect the state (courtesy of the taxpayer) to do your job. If you commit a crime, you should be punished. If you're a neglectful drug-using mother who only sees kids as being a way to get more benefits, don't expect to keep your kids. What's wrong with that?

In some ways, the book makes for depressing reading as it shows how lazy and crooked people are, but the one ray of hope is that Judge Judy has spoken out about it, and that she's carried out sensible actions in court which have stopped the idle and manipulative people appearing before her getting away with it. I just wish more judges would do the same.

If only this simple, but honest logic was wider applied, we'd have more people being more responsible, and the state wouldn't have to keep picking up the tab.

Political correctness and over-sensitivity have resulted in things getting worse and worse over the years. It's time for common sense and logic to rule, Judge Judy style!

the best book in the world.

Customer Rating:

I totally love this book. I have been working as a judge for eight years now, and everything the honourable Judge says certainly comprehends my knowledge gained in court (together with Judge Sheindlin's book "Beauty Fades, Dumb Is forever")I have a great respect for this incredible judge, and anyone who doesn't familiarize themselves with her in the show will love to discover the magic Judge Judy holds.She has the ability to apply her knowlage and wisdom in all area's and i hope many people out there can be influenced by this opinionated woman.Just like myslelf, she has an answer and thought on everything and she puts these idea's forward in a remarkably witty manner.Definately a great read, highly recommended to anyone of any age.

WHAT YOU SEE...IS WHAT YOU GET...

Customer Rating:

I have to admit that I am in complete agreement with Judge Judy. She is a tough talking, no nonsense, commom sense oriented individual, who believes in personal responsibility and acountability. What you see on the television screen, if you watch her show "Judge Judy", is what you find between the cover of this book.

The book covers a variety of social issues in the context of her legal and judicial experience, and she does a full court press in giving her opinions. Not given to judicial restraint, she speaks out on those issues to which her nearly quarter of a century experience as a judge has entitled her. I only wish that she were running for public office. She would certainly have my vote.

The only issue that I take with the book is that it is really not a cohesive entity. It is a somewhat disjointed collection of essays or opinions on various social issues that repeatedly came up during her years on the bench. There is no attempt to put them together into a broader context, so that one segues into the next. This is the one shortcoming of the book. Nonetheless, it is still an interesting read.

Judge Judy for president	Customer Rating:
What a brilliant woman! At the end of each page...I found my self saying...YEAH!! IT'S ABOUT FREAKIN' TIME!! There are great no-nonsense solutions in this book to very real problems. Not to mention some scary stories of mainstream America. The amazing thing about this book is that the stories are true! Nobody could make this stuff up.
