Review:
This book literally left a bad taste in my mouth. Dorn mostly sucks. She sleeps around, takes drugs, and parties on her parents' dime. At the time of writing this memoir, she is still behaving like a child--she throws tantrums, she ignores the work for which she is being paid as though it is her due, and she is incredibly shallow. Yeah, she points out some serious problems with the legal profession, but she also participates in actively making those problems worse and then sort of laughs at all of us for paying her to do anything. She gave me little to like about her and her contrarian attitude (while potentially valuable for a legal career) leaves her spewing at all those around her. Her friends seem both short term and casual. I hope she turns things around, finds her passion, and takes a deeper look at those around her. I have a feeling she has talent and can turn her life into something more than it currently is, but maybe not. The world has a place for intelligent slackers and she is lazily filling it.
