2.0 out of 5 stars Financial Accounting Made Harder, December 19, 2010
By 
Scott (Martinsburg, WV, United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Using Financial Accounting Information: The Alternative to Debits & Credits (Hardcover)
Oh where to start. First off, the book that I received had two Chapter 2's. Yes, that's correct, it had two chapter two's but to make up for it, it did not have a chapter 3 and part of chapter 4. But I'm sure that is just a flaw with the copy I received.

The exercises, problems, etc in the back of the chapters all have the same numbering system. For example the Excercises for chapter 4 are labled as 4-1, 4-2, 4-3... However, the problems are also labled in the same fashion; 4-1, 4-2, 4-3... etc. Between the "Warmup Exercises," "Brief Exercises," "Exercises," "Problems, and "Decision Cases," they all use the same exact numbering system. So you really have to check and double check that you are working on the correct assigned problem, exercise, or whatever.

The book is not written very well. In fact to complete an answer for a homework problem in Chapter 7 you actually have to do research in Chapter 12. Sure it mentions the subject in Chapter 7 and states this will be covered in detail in Chapter 12. Sure enough, that is where you need to go to be able to answer the problem in the back of Chapter 7.

I have had to research more of the topics in the chapters online to get a better understanding of what the authors are trying to explain. It is almost as if they are going out of their way to make it harder then it needs to be.

Anyway, as always, this is just my opinion.

4.0 out of 5 stars Understanding Accounts is easier with this book, February 12, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Using Financial Accounting Information: The Alternative to Debits & Credits (Hardcover)
The book has clear objectives at the beginning of each chapter. Excercises are also clear, although unrealistic; however, for the purpose of understanding accounts in a simple way examples in the book work very well.

Terminology is standard and straight forward.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Book, June 21, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
The book was delivered day four of the expedited service which was a little longer than I expected to wait. On the other hand, the book is in great condition and this was a good buy. Thanks
