Thank you for your great review. I'm glad you enjoyed it and the editing was so well done. I believe this sounds a little too deep in law for me to enjoy, but I could tell it was written well. I hope others who are interested in this subject will pick it up and enjoy it.

"St. Sebastian School of Law" by Tim Greaney seems intriguing. I love the storyline and how it examines the major objectives of all instructions: to prioritize financial survival or moral compass. Congrats on BOTD. Insightful review.

Thank you for your insightful review on Tim Greaney's "St. Sebastian School of Law". This is a thought-provoking piece of a book's genre of other fiction that blends aspects of legal drama, academics, and social commentary. Through compelling characters like Father Balducci and McNeely, the story examines corruption, academic integrity, and the moral dilemmas within institutions. Additionally, while the characters are well-developed, their introspective musings and philosophical debates may come across as overly lengthy or verbose for some readers. For this reason, I am choosing to pass on this book. Congratulations to the author for BOTD.

The novel ends ambiguously. Some things are resolved with the plot, others aren’t and it leaves the impression that St. Sebastian’s fights continue, reflecting the bigger fights going on in higher education.

I'm always intrigued by law infused stories, as it's normally exciting and rather informative. I hope in this case it will be the same. I can't wait to start reading this. Thanks for your review. To me, however, it is a bit lengthy. Congrats on BOTD.

Stories about courtroom dramas, struggling lawyers with dishonest clients and lawyers fighting for the underdog are quite common. This book addresses a different part of the legal world, and the discussions on institutional authority, decision-making, and the struggle between idealism and pragmatism, sound interesting. Financial survival is essential, but not to the detriment of morality.Thank you for your informative review.

From the review "St Sebastian School of Law" it's a law and philosophical book that . It's set in a university where it deals with the conflicts and corruption in the University. Though it seems like an interesting book ,I don't like philosophical or law books since I always feel they're lengthy with complicated words that few can understand.

St. Sebastian School of Law is a well-crafted fiction story focusing on law, education, corruption, and leadership. At present time, we could see this issues in our community but most people ignore it due to lack of knowledge what is really happening. This book is giving us an insight about this social issues in a narrative and creative way. As an avid reader, I will give this book a shot.

I wonder how Father Balducci handles all these issues in St Sebastian and if he's involved in some of the vices the school faces, such as corruption. I also wonder how McNeely fits into the plot, and if he's a student of St Sebastian. I'm sure fans of legal drama will enjoy this one.
