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: USC Accounting School
Review: I'm at the Leventhal school of accounting. This is the book we use in our intermediate accounting class. I found the Problem Solving survival guides that came with the book to be invaluable. This is an awesome accounting text.

Summary: Not a good fanatic of it
Review: The chapters are ok.I had to carry this book almost everyday to class!; its so big and heavy. And I also didn't like the examples and excersises of it because you can't barely understand them.

Summary: Truly horrible!!!
Review: The other folks are right; do not attempt to use this book without a professor or C.P.A. that you can ask questions. I am using it for my class, and there are many times when I walked into class having no idea what the book wanted me to do, and I finished the class period saying, "Geez, if that's all there was to it, why didn't they just say that?" The reading level isn't so bad as the adherence to more-challenging-than-usual conventions. So if this is required for your course, no problem; you got yourself a good book. But steer clear if you're on this voyage alone.

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: 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: There is no other like it
Review: When it comes to Intermediate Accounting, this book provides a better framework than any other period. I used the 9th edition while in College, and have re-ordered the 10th edition for the CPA exam. Quite frankly, not even the great Becker Convisor is as good as this book. Maybe I find it better than others because this is what I had used while taking intermidiate accounting. I have looked at other textbooks, and they could not match Mr. Keiso's textbook in organization nor could they match it in ability to explain complex issues in an easy to understand manner. This book should be in any employee's office who must deal with accounting issues and needs guidance occasinaly. I must warn you, this edition is outdated as there have been many changes since the Sarbanes-Oxley act was passed by congress. So, you may want to wait until the 11th edition comes out, as that will master all of the changes that have occured in the industry since ENRON and WORLDCOM's collapse.
If you are someone who feels overwhelmed by the entire subject, this book will organize it into compartments and allow you to understand not only the entire framework, but the details as well.
