Summary: If you're trying to teach yourself, do NOT buy this text!!
Review: Although the reading level is extremely easy, the text glosses over or omits critical details. This lack of information makes it extremely difficult to complete the exercises.If you want to teach yourself, I recommend Intermediate Accounting by Dyckman, Dukes, and Davis.

Summary: Trying to teach yourself? This is NOT the book for you.
Review: Although the text is written at a relatively easy reading level, I do not feel that the content covers all of the details necessary to equip you to complete the exercises. If you have a professor explaining things to you, though, I'm sure it'll do. This is the new text chosen by my correspondence college. For Intermediate I they had the text Intermediate Accounting by Dykman, Dukes, and Davis. I am glad I still have Dykman's text so I can learn the material! If you are trying to learn Intermediate Accounting on your own, I recommend Dykman's text!

Summary: Unnecessarily Difficult to Understand.
Review: As a college-level accounting teacher, I initially was stuck with Keyso & Weygandt because it was the book that many teachers use. My students had an enormous amount of difficulty understanding it, due in large part to gaps in the authors' logic. As a result, I initiated a search for a better Intermediate II text and eventually settled on that by Dyckman, Dukes and Davis. It's not perfect, but it is substantially better, and my students' complaints immediately ceased.

Summary: Excellent accounting text and reference
Review: As a CPA I find this book to be an excellent quick reference source for accounting rules and regulations (though it should not be a replacement for the FASB handbooks). The exercises at the end of each chapter comes as close as an academic text could to real life situations.

Summary: This book is easy to follow and understand
Review: As a graduating accounting major in the spring of 2000, I have to say that this book made my intermediate accounting classes much easier when a professor was not around to answer questions. It gives great examples and takes a lot of strain off learning what people consider the meat and potatoes of accouting.

Summary: Great accounting text!
Review: As a recent accounting graduate, and current graduate student, I can tell you that this text is one of the best accounting books I ever read. Intermediate Accounting is a tough, voluminous subject, which is why it takes two semesters to get through it! Keiso and Weygandt do a great job of walking students through the specifics of a topic, along with its history, alternatives, and the profession's arguments for and against some of the more controversial ones. The problems and cases following the chapters are extremely challenging and thought-provoking; great supplements to the readings and class lectures. If you are an accounting professor, or an accounting student or professional, this book is a fantastic textbook and excellent resource during your career. I will have it in my cubicle at my firm!

Summary: Good to keep as reference
Review: As an accounting student I hated the book: bulky, heavy and confusing, but as a practicing CPA, I realized that it is essential to keep it as a reference. Examples that were confusing in college are clear and helpful now in practice. Definitely a keeper!

Summary: Wordy and Vague
Review: As an accounting student, I was very disappointed with this text. It contained very little explaination of the problems given, and it was very wordy. I think it would have helped to have a workbook with worksheets for the very lengthy assignments, because I wasted three sheets of paper for one problem!! I found myself referring back to my old accounting principles book to figure how how to do the majority of the problems. Plenty of my classmates despised the text. If you are an instructor of an accounting department, do your students a favor, and find another text.

Summary: A great accounting textbook.
Review: As an accounting undergraduate it is hard to find a good textbook. This book gives the best explanations of the difficult topics. Examples are very closely related to the reading and review problems.
