I rated this book one star. I also was not on a journal in law school (but i WAS on the hard drinking, academically delinquent, coed slowpitch team that went to UVA to party, eat gusburgers and occasionally lob softballs at each other a mere two weeks before finals, which I've found impresses potential employers at least as much as law review would). Coincidence? But seriously. Even now, as a practicing atty, I find the Bluebook incomprehensible, overly complicated, and more often than not, extremely and ludicrously unhelpful. I feel bad giving it one star since a friend of mine was on Harvard law review and probably edited the most recent version. But that friend will be a Supreme Court clerk next year, so I think said friend can absorb the blow of my not being able to figure out how to cite the Massachusetts Declaration of Rights from the Bluebook.
