Paradox of Property
Guide Rating -  
Pros  •  Actual cases used to illustrate main points
•  Basic principles explained multiple times
•  Good introduction to the issues surrounding property and rights
Cons  •  May, at times, be a bit difficult for average readers
The Bottom Line - Singer's book isn't always easy to read and is aimed more for an audience of law students than the general public. Nevertheless, his writing isn't arcane and is generally quite engaging. He makes use of many practical examples from actual court cases to illustrate his points, and anyone wishing to invest a little time will come away better for it. This is easily one of the best books I've read over the past year, and I recommend it highly.
