Summary: Very Difficult Reading
Review: Good grief, the material in this book is TORTUROUS to read and absorb. I've never encountered anything more dull and (for a GREAT deal of it) useless.

Summary: Use This On al Queda ?
Review: Good grief, this sort of thing sounds like TORTURE. People become accountants because they failed at something else. And they actually read stuff like this?

Summary: Response to a reader from Houston
Review: I am an accounting Professor. I am also an accountant. I am so surprised that you thought people became accountants because they failed from something else. It is totally wrong. I am so pround of it. I am 27 year old. I have a good car, have a good house (no debt at all; I just repaid all my mortgage recently.) I do not think that people who are in the field from which you mentioned they failed can make money and have good reputation like I do. Do you know that an auditor money as much as a lawyer (I am a good auditor; please do not talk about other case)

For this book, I found it is very good. I used Prof Skousen's textbook in first accounting class as well as intermediate. My students like them so much. However, they give a little bit too much detail. A professor should adapt it when using in class. This book is a excellent alternative to another book published by Wiley.

Summary: An excellent accounting text
Review: Layout and presentation of topics are in a logical order. Text is clearly written, and explains the why and how, using examples from annual reports, news articles, and historical information. Complicated topics, such as pension accounting and disclosure, are presented first with a simple example to give you the background you need. Then the authors progress to the more complicated and real world aspects of the topic.

Summary: Interactive intermediate accounting textbook
Review: This book is quite easy to use. The web site is interesting, and the "accounting in the real world" sections are a good way to understand the way the things you are learning are applied in the real world. I would like more examples of problems, sometimes the given examples are bit hard to follow.
