Unlike most textbooks the book by Higgins can actually be an engaging read. It doesn't get into too many technical details on any of the subject matters covered, but includes some interesting sections that I haven't found in other general (and much heavier) financial management books. For instance, I liked the appendix on the venture capital method of valuation and the explanation on how venture capitalists arrive at a required percentage ownership given multiple rounds of financing.

It was used as a background text for a case study course that I took as part of an MS in finance program and I believe most of us enjoyed it..

Great book for my introduction to finance. This is what the professor in my MBA program used. The book is easy to read and the author has a self-deprecating sense of humor to boot.
