I read this autobiography sometime between my grade 11 and 12 law classes, just before Eddie Greenspan participated in a televised mock re-trial of Louis Riel on the CBC, not because I wanted to be a lawyer but to fight the crushing boredom and tedium of high school. Though this biography was dry and dated, it nevertheless conveyed to me in clear and effective writing a sense of the practice of law, the usual legwork, its tedium, and the hard work necessary to succeed. However, there really needs to be a revised edition, especially one that covers Greenspan's most recent defence cases, e.g. Garth Drabinsky and Conrad Black.
