Review

"Keep up the great work! I would like to see this book marketed more as one that helps students. Can you help me get through to the other faculty at my school?"

"In general, I was quite impressed with the text. I think it is as technical as Kieso, but far superior in addressing some of the concepts and providing material for application. . . . Thanks for the opportunity to review--it introduced me to the text and I will consider it for class." --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.

Product Description

3.0 out of 5 stars Authoritative but not an easy read, June 6, 2004

By	kenja (Renton, WA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Intermediate Accounting (Hardcover)

This is an authoritative text (it's on the recommended reading list for the CMA, for example). Unfortunately, the style of writing is not the clearest. Although I'm a straight-A student of accounting, I had to re-read way too many sentences.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not easily understandable, June 9, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Intermediate Accounting (Hardcover)

The author should have made this text more student friendly. It was very confusing at times. This book is not worth its cost!

2.0 out of 5 stars Return this book after course is completed, March 21, 2004

By	A. Nalicat "nalicat" (CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Intermediate Accounting (Hardcover)

This book was over done ? this book will confuse an accounting student. In fact, they recommend that you purchase a study guide to go along with this book (what does that tell you!!!). Along with a poor accounting lecture you are doomed to barely pass an accounting class with this book. The write up and description of general concepts ? extends to some far out, drawn out, and exacerbated lecture that may have been written by satanic worshipers or something like that. I bought the study guide to go along with this book after I did so poorly on my first exam and now I know why a few did well on their exam?s ? because they bought the study guide!!! The study guide should be used as the main study concept and leave this heavy weighted book on the shelf?
