Decent Read

Great book for people unfamiliar with Justice's life. The text is obviously biased toward Judge Justice, but for those who agree with his judicial philosophy, that's not necessarily a bad thing. The chapters are relatively short and focused and do a great job of helping you read all the way through without feeling overwhelmed with information. The text really picks up as the book goes on and ends with a great final chapter.
