Summary: DON"T BUY THIS BOOK IF YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED TO
Review: This book is not of the worse books I have very read. I wouldn't buy this book if I wasn't taking the class. I don't know what the authors were thinking when they wrote this book. The book doesn't have a solution manual for all the problems and they explain the materials in the book very very BAD way that doesn't make any sense. I had to buy another book to understand the lectures in my class because the authors don't explain the topic very clearly. DON'T BUY THIS BOOK IF YOU DON"T HAVE TO.

Summary: Truly horrible!!!
Review: This book is one of the worst accounting books I have ever read! This book isn't bad because the individual words or topics are that hard. It's bad because it is WORDY to the point that the students gets confused. (...) On the other hand, the color choices for the Kieso book tends to put me to sleep. Y'know, you're not supposed to make a dry and boring subject like accounting even more dryer and boring! The authors should read the writing tips on the CD that came with the book.

Summary: The book is good, but hard to understand
Review: This book is well written. I like Intermediate Accounting because it is very specific and detail. However, the authors made the course very difficult because it's hard to understand without an explaination of instructor; plus the lack of solution made me very difficult to understand this book. I don't recommend to buy the book to study without an instructor.

Summary: Excellent book, but no solutions!
Review: This is an excellent book, very well written and comprehensive. However, without an instructor or a complete solutions manual, this book is impossible to use! When are authors and publishers going to learn that a beautifully thoughtout set of exercises is utterly worthless in a quantitative subject like Accounting without the solutions available! I'm presently taking a course from this book, however I would never buy this book for personal use - no answers!

Summary: WARNING -- This is not the full text!
Review: This is volume two of what I guess is a two-volume version of K/W's full book. If you are looking for the real thing, pick the OTHER K/W "Intermediate Accounting." The whole thing is a great accounting reference, but you need the whole thing, not just the second half.

Summary: Accounting 301/302 Student - Intermediate Accounting
Review: This review referrs to the Problem Solving Guide Volume II, that covers chapters 15-25.This book is a must for anyone who is taking an intermediate accounting class that uses the Kieso/Weygandt accounting text. I found this book very helpful because it provides questions and solutions that are almost exactly like the questions that come from the test bank and are used on our exams. Students in our class who use this book generally do much better than those who do not. This book will help you understand what it is the author wants you to get out of the chapter. Frankly, the this book should raise your grade if you take an hour or two before each test and answer the multiple choice questions that it provides.
I wouldn't buy this book unless I were taking a class. But I probably wouldn't buy any textbooks unless I were taking a class.

Summary: This book illustrates why so many students drop/fail acct.
Review: This text is tedious, disorganized, and not to mention, very expensive. Unless its required for your coursework, stay away - very far away from this textbook. There are thousands of other books available that cover the same topics included in this text, but in a much clearer and easier to understand fashion.

Summary: Intermediate Accounting by Kieso and Weygandt
Review: This text was utilized by me in graduate school and in studying
for and passing the Uniform CPA Examination. The work has
a thorough coverage of theory and practice. It is geared for
accounting majors or more advanced business students.
Few texts provide the "bold-font" presentation of an accounting
term followed by the accompanying definition. The problem sets
are challenging. The text will help you to study for the CPA
examination because the presentation contains many problem
sets geared to prepare students for rigorous examinations.
The text is well worth the price .

Summary: Get to the point already!!!
Review: This textbook epitomizes the phrase "beating around the bush". It's great for reference, but if you need to actually "learn" something forget about it. I found myself getting very frustrated with it's tedious approach to explaining simple concepts.

Summary: Don't buy it
Review: What a dissappointing, unclear and abstract textbook! The chapters ill-prepare and ill-equip the student to solve any of the exercises. In addition, the book provides no key figures or key points for which a student can guide himself. It seems that the motive is to deliberately confuse the student and obfiscate the topics. In using this textbook, you are guaranteed to need supplemental textbooks, workbooks and study guides in order to get an adequate understanding (and how nice... they offer these items for purchase!). I really question the authors' intent and purpose given their unnecessary obscure approach to the topic. Stay away from this book.
