I am Majoring in Business Management/Accounting and this book was required for my intermediate classes. The reason why I say this book is horrible is that it doesnt have a good flow to the learnig objectives. It jumps around and sends the student back and forth throughout the chapter causing a great deal of confusion. There are very few examples, and the calculations are about as clear as mud. The vocabulary used is vague and confusing. I wouldnt reccomend this book even if it were free.

Book is pretty good at describing conceptually how things work, which I liked. However the answers provided to sample questions are very poor - you'll need to get answers from your instructor or buy the instructor version for that.

This book is absolutely horrible. There is no clear example on how to work out problems and the check figures are a joke, all that is listed is a number. The concepts that are taught in the book are confusing and more complicated than they need to be. Nothing is well organized in this book, everything is just thrown together and each page is jumbled with different concepts. Compared to other Intermediate Accounting books I have looked at, this is a very unprofessional and sloppily thrown together. Look at the other reviews and see for yourself.

Our Intermediate Accounting professor pointed out several topics and examples that made no sense at all and was puzzled as to why they had extra steps that didn't need to be there. Eventually the professor created his own handouts that simplified this horrible book which made learning a lot easier. If you happen to be assigned this book, don't buy it new, it's not worth it. Get one used or buy a different Intermediate accounting book that is actually useful to learning rather than detrimental.

Accounting is a pretty simple subject. This book definitely makes it harder than it seems. When I read other reference books, I understand the material right away, but when I read this book, I get confused. This book is long, boring and overstating a simple topic. When I took this class I had to outline each chapter, OH MY .... IT IS TOO LONG FOR A SIMPLE IMPORTANT IDEA!!!

Although this book has a lot of updates and IASB standard, it is not ready on market yet, at least one of promised feature--DEMO PROBLEM--is not on their companion website. The check figure is really a joke. So many answers are obvious, and each problem only has one figure. Although it is colored, it is not edited for visual easiness. The ink is very easy to smear.

I am taking online class for my business admin degree and was assigned this book for my Intermediate Accounting class. It is a horrible book, and is very vague. Maybe for an accounting major it would be ok or even good but for me it is awful. Also, I have only been using the book for a week and the binding is falling apart. Being an online class I don't have to lug it back and forth to school so I am not sure why the binding is failing.

I was very staisfied with my purchases and also very satisfied with the price. The only reason I sent the book back was because of my class had changed. But I will definitely order all of my books from amazon from now on I give them five stars anytime.

My order came in a very timely manner & in better condition than I was anticipating. Thank you so much!

The book arrived quickly and in pristine condition. I bought it at a great price and was able to save a ton of money compared to if I had bought it at my university's bookstore.

Received the book in record time and in great shape, will definitely use them again if I need too, great service!!
