4.0

The reason I came across and read this book was because it was part of my Jurisprudence class at university but I also have a bit of an interest in Marxist reading (and a lot of political reading in general really). Not a lot is written about the Marxist perspective of law, whether that's from Karl Marx himself or Marxist writers, most Marxist writing is about socioeconomic theory. But this book is one of the few that gives you a Marxian perspective of law and how it relates to the bourgeoisie and proletariat class system. So if you want to read about Marxist law theory, whether out of your own interest or for what you're studying like I did, then this is definitely one of the books I'd recommend. This was one of the books my lecturer would refer back to a lot when suggesting sources for what he was teaching us, so there's another reliable source for the recommendation.
