1: Perfect for Evidence
Emanuel Law Outlines are expensive and aren't necessarily the best choice for every law school subject. For example, I have it for Constitutional Law and I hate it. I think that is because Constitutional law is theoretical while Evidence is concrete with laws. This series is PERFECT for Evidence. It breaks down the rules into numerous examples and does an amazing job of sorting out the complexities of Hearsay and Impeachment. I would definitely recommend Emanuel for this subject.

2: Limited to students for final exam
Not what I expected. Too concise and the principles underlying the rules are not fully developed. It may be good for a student who wants an overview for an exam, but that is all.

3: CrunchTime Evidence
the book was in good condition and came on time, but had much more highlighting in the front half than was indicated in the description.

4: Great Review
I highly recommend this book (I have the '07 edition). It has flow charts, an outline, short answer questions, and multiple choice. It's a great review before finals. Definitely worth it's price too.

5: Feeling reassured by having more books?
At six-hundred pages, your average overworked law student is not too keen on reading another 40 pages a night, especially with a full slate of classes. That being said, this book contains a "Casebook correlation chart," which helps you decide which part of the book to read in the approximate order of your own textbook. It covers: Green Nesson, "Evidence" (3rd Ed. 2000); Wellborn, "Cases & Mat..." (1st ed. 2000); Mueller & Kirkpatrick, "Evidence Under the Rules" (4th Ed. 2000), and Waltz & Park, "Evidence" (9th Ed. 1999).
I would suggest checking this out of your law library instead of buying it and reading the relevant parts of the "Capsule Summary" (79 pages) if you're pressed for time and you want a nuanced overview of Evidence.
The rest of the book is nicely outlined, but way too much information for the average to under-achieving student. However if you want it for clarification on certain rules, or just having it in your bookshelf would make you feel better about Evidence, you can get it so cheap that it can't hurt.
