Authors made little effort to make the book readable or explain things clearly,

This review is from: South-Western Federal Taxation: Comprehensive 2009 (with TaxCut® Tax Preparation Software CD-ROM) (West's Federal Taxation: Comprehensive Volume) (Hardcover)
I had to buy this text book for a college taxation class. Initially I thought this book was ok. But, then I tried actually reading it and realized this book wasn't written with too much care in terms of presenting information in a logical sequence or in an understandable way.
I often would have to go to websites to get the kind of understandable explanation that this book should have given. Its written in a really choppy style and often is too vague or general without fully explaning things. This book needs some serious editing for readability, but then again text book companies don't generally care about making the content easily digestable. Teh just want to make sure the author has a Phd. This book was great, if you like reading books the seem to have been written by robots. I would definitely not buy this book unless it is required for a class. If you just want to understand the US tax code and how to file your taxes definitely look elsewhere. IRS publications are way more helpful and also are free.

This review is from: South-Western Federal Taxation: Comprehensive 2009 (with TaxCut® Tax Preparation Software CD-ROM) (West's Federal Taxation: Comprehensive Volume) (Hardcover)
This 2009 Edition includes 2007 TaxCut software. If you expected to file your 2008 taxes with this purchase, you will probably be disappointed - like I am.
