Summary: Trash
Review: The book is completely dry and void of any practical use. Aside from that of holding up your wobbly coffee table, I suggest that you not purchase this.

Summary: Bad attempt to confuse the students
Review: There were no spreadsheet applications, no calculator applications and no solutions manual for the student.
The book reads dry and you need a highlighter to hunt out what the authors are trying to tell you...
Bad book , waste of money.

Summary: A malnutritioned approach to the field of finance
Review: This book has of little value to any student attempting to understand the dynamic field of corporate financial
management. Not only is the text of poor quality, but the
examples and problems do not accurately convince the student
of the value of the field.

Summary: An Excellent Book for MBA students.
Review: This book incorporates managerial accounting and corporate finance. The standard is comparable to the corporate finance by Brealy and Myers. The book has many current examples that may help finance students.

Summary: Of little value, but big price!!!

Summary: Great Overview, but Needs to Address New Developments
Review: This gives a thorough and competent overview of the classic corporate finance paradigm. The capital structure of corporations can be easily changed with off balance sheet transactions: off-shore vehicles, total return swaps, and derivatives. This was Enron's downfall, and total return swaps on a corporations own equity are merely hidden loans that are toxic convertibles. Anyone interested in finance will also want to read "Credit Derivatives" by Tavakoli which explains these products and their uses.

Summary: Easy-to-read, Engaging, Concise, Conservative, Best Possible
Review: This is possibly the best intro-intermediate corporate finance book in the market today. The competition to this book, would be Brealey and Myers (but is dry, wordy, too informal, confusing, not super organized, and prob. written to be a money vaccum for the authors). This book really has value added to it (for instance, the layout and gold fonts make reading the book more a pleasure and hobby than a hell-chore). The tone is really engaging, professional, formal, and just keeps you awake (relatively to other textbooks like the Brealey and Myers). I'm a undergrad student at the Univ. of Washington in Seattle, and I have used both this book and another book by the same authors called the fundamentals of corporate finance, and it's great. I have also used the Brealey and Myers prin. of corporate finance - and its a real hunk of junk.

Summary: One of the Best
Review: This is the WORST book I have used in my study of finance. It is full of errors and it is written in such a way that it is extremely hard to understand for an average student. There are lots of calculations that are unexplained, assumtions are made that are never addressed,and it is just plain vague in virtually all subjects it discusses. Buy a different title if you actually want to learn about finance.
