Customer Reviews of Financial Accounting

Appropriate, perhaps, for a survey class for non-accounting majors, but insufficient for the student pursuing accounting as a major. Let's face it, a large part of introductory accounting is drill and practice. The book skimps on these elements. The narrative is generally lively, and true to its billing the book is full of real-world examples for the chapter subjects. The text also has a very modern, splashy graphic design.

The book does not have enough in the way of examples that teach the mechanics of journal entries, T-accounts and the like.

This text, unfortunately, represents the trend of dumbing down our school books. An "A" for style, a "C+" for substance.

A book that can make even accounting interesting
The book is very well rounded and very helpful in introducing what might have been confusing subjects. Author brings in real life examples and raises questions of ethics in accounting. Graphic design is excellent and makes the book "look" interesting. No effort was spared to make this book graphically appealing. I recommend this book even to the non-accounting/business person. The lessons taught in chapters one thru four are essential for everyone to know in order to make sound economic choices.

Very Useful
I used this study guide and received a 3.9 out of 4.0 in this class. This is a great study guide and I would recommend getting one as it will definitely improve your grades in a very important class.
