This is a very comprehensive textbook of the subject. It deals with just about every aspect of the AIS realm. It is, however, a very dull book. There isn't much illustrating, no color, and absolutely no life beyond the black and white wasteland of its pages.

Everything you need is in here, but the book truly is boring as dirt. If you need it for a class, fine. But do not buy it if you just want something to read.

Is this the world's most boring book ? Technically competent but painfully dry. A gift too insomniacs. Good luck on getting past page 1 !

The subject is a compilation of wearisome topics, and the authors make sure you pay your dues. No effort was made to reduce the boredom of reading this 805 page text. Also, the font is nice and small and the same color as the tables - a shade of blue. The space between sentences seems to be the absolute minimum.

If these issues are handled in the 11th edition, I will probably buy that one. A good and reader-accessible book in this subject can command a large price premium.

Flat out I hate this book and the way it has made me look down on an actually useful subject. I also have an issue with the fact that I have an instructor who decided that this book was the way to go, thanks lady. To bad I cant sell the stupid thing for what I paid since I busted the cover off when I threw it.

There are so many more physically painful things I'd rather do than read this book. AIS is naturally boring...that's a given, but it takes it to a whole new level of boring. It could give you the no-nonsense technical and professional information, but it goes on and on where no comment is necessary. Sometimes saying things that a first grader would know. Don't buy this book if you can avoid it, and if you're a professor...please don't subject your students to this.

Very boring reading. Chapters tend to repeat themselves. The class I had for this book was one of the most boring classes I ever had. Instructor lectured from power point slides. I could have taken this class homestudy and done just fine, than to sit in class.

This book is mostly about Information systems connected to Accounting or mostly business operation in the organization. This book contain a basic information you need to know if you are going to work in the company. I would recommend.

Wow, the author needed 832 pages to say the same thing over and over again. Although I didn't find it as boring as the other reviewers, I still did not like it. I didn't really learn anything past the first couple of chapters.

There are much better books out there on this subject, so if you don't really need it for a class, go and buy something else. Especially if you're comfortable with auditing.

Definitely agree with other people here, this book is extremely boring. I bought it for one of my classes, the class was OK though.
