Speaking of David Lat, he has a review in yesterday's Observer of the book Anonymous Lawyer, a sort of faux-blog-in-print for fans of his faux blog by the same name, which (Lat says) "became a must-read among disgruntled law-firm associates around the country, who identified with its unsparing portrait of the white-collar salt mines that are America’s largest law firms (a.k.a. “Biglaw”)."

Did anyone think the blog was a "must-read"? The nicest I would say is that I looked at it a couple of times, and may have once found it amusing. The whole thing seemed like a gripping depiction of law-firm life only for law students who don't know what they're getting into and are willing to listen to another law student if he tells a good tale.

Or do I just not appreciate a good satire?

2. It's a cute premise, but I never understood how it was the basis for a perpetual blog or a complete book.
