Summary: Hey, I used to LIKE accounting!
Review: Generally a great text BUT some concepts are glossed over a bit quickly, e.g. Bonds, Adjusting entries. The problems at the end of the chapters are appropriately challenging but there are no answers. You gotta have answers somewhere, perhaps a web site. The print is too light and difficult to read with overhead lights.

Summary: Insightful Case Studies
Review: I can see the point of several previous reviewers that certain additional details flesh out end of chapter case studies. However, I found the writing fresh, insightful, and pointed. Multiple end of chapter resources further illuminated chapter material in detail. In conjunction with a thorough professor, this book is an excellent tool for understanding accounting material.

Summary: Too dense.
Review: I used this book for my MBA and found it to be lengthy and dense. One would be lost if he has no basic accounting knowledge. I spent more time looking up other books in the book shop for my revision.

Summary: A Heavy Book
Review: It's not that bad as other reviews say it is, but it is definetely such a heavy book to carry around.

Summary: One of the best accounting text books you can buy
Review: This is an excellent text books in the field of both financial and cost accountings. The book is written from an accounting user's perspectives and especially suitable for non accountants who want to understand accounting. The book is easy to read, well organized, well written, and deep in scope. I have to say the book's great for beginners and good for everybody in learning or teaching accounting.

Summary: This one will make you pull your hair out!
Review: Unless you go to Haaaaarvaaard (I always forget how many A's to put), you are probably going to be a bit perplexed by the content of this book.The cases go WAY beyond what is covered in the Chapters, and its up to the instructor to try to fill in the gaps (hopefully your instructor realizes this). I have found myself referring to my textbook from my intro accounting course more often than this book itself in order to grasp the concepts at hand. Seriously, this book is a punishment to anyone who has to buy it for school. And its FREAKIN heavy to haul around across campus. 'Nough said.

Summary: Beyond unacceptable
Review: Verbose and useless! The book says that the only way to learn accounting is to practice doing problems. It sucks at showing you how to do problems. It sucks worst at teaching you the concepts. No matter how many technical or engineering degrees you may have, this will make you feel stupid.
