1.0 out of 5 stars
steer clear,
By fab man "fm" (San Francisco, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Financial Accounting: An Introduction to Concepts, Methods and Uses (Hardcover)
Although extremely rigorous in definitions and concepts, definitely not the type of text book I would recommend for a MBA introductory accounting class. Steer clear.The structure is confusing, and the way it has been presented made it even more confusing. Only positive note are the problems at the end of each chapter, which are challenging enough and offer a good preparation even for the toughest tests. Previously, I had another intro accounting class in which Horngren/Harrison Financial Accounting Managerial was used. I have found this latter text book much clearer, to the point, concise.

Worst Text Book Ever,

This review is from: Financial Accounting: An Introduction to Concepts, Methods and Uses (Hardcover)
This book is horrible. It does show you how to work the problems. It's full of high level explanation and no deep explanation of the concepts or the problems. It's poorly organized and super expensive. It does not contain answers to the odd problems in the back of the book like most (math type of books) text books tend to have. There is no study guide for this edition; the publisher's web site claims there exist, I have not found it there or anywhere else. However, a study guide does exist for the previous edition. There is a solutions manual that one has to purchase a key to access the anwers to the odd problems online. The solutions manual falls really too, because it just gives the answers and offers no explanation of the problems. I really need some kind of study guide that explains the problems in detail so that I can check myself. The book has a companion site that is a little helpful, it has one online quizzes, chapter summary and spreadsheets for each chapter.

This review is from: Financial Accounting: An Introduction to Concepts, Methods and Uses (Hardcover)
Forced to use this text as a part of an MBA program, I found myself pouring over every paragraph without advancing my knowledge. Additionally, the book is riddled with errors, making it even harder to establish any trust between reader and author. If you too are forced to use this text, I hope you are better at finding external resources than was I. If you are using the text for self-study and have little or no background in accounting, I strongly urge to you to look elsewhere.
