User Ratings and Reviews

1 Star Craptastic
This book sucks. I payed $133 for it at my bookstore and it has no binding for it. On top of that the text of the book and example problems is horrid and confusing to follow. To any teachers looking to use this book, KEEP ON LOOKING. IT SUCKS!!!!

2 Stars Absolutely Horrible!
This textbook is HORRIBLE! I usually frown on using such harsh language for reviews, but this truly deserves it. Some people, and I trust that these people are indeed RARE individuals, may find the new examples helpful but they are not. This textbook fails in the area most critical to success, in that it does NOT succeed in approaching the subjects from a students perspective. It is extremely difficult to learn from this text because the examples in it are SO numerous that your though process is interuptted every 30 seconds with some illustrative example. I find these examples mostly to be unnecessary with a solid lecturer. Perhaps CENGAGE should have considered placing all the examples in one section and referencing them instead, but the fact remains that the learning process is disrupted often by unnecessary examples and illustrations.

The text itself is fairly straighforward, but it can be confusing at times. Again, a fact I attribute mostly to poor design and oversight. I would not recommend this textbook to anyone. It’s overpriced and you will want to bang your head into the desk while trying to make sense of the poppycock these buffoons called editors expect us to accept. You have failed horribly CENGAGE. Forget your stupid GPS model, and just make a clear and easy to understand text. Is it really that hard?

4 Stars Excellent illustrations
This book has excellent examples and illustrations in each chapter. There are many problems and exercises that are very helpful in learning each chapter. One thing I would change is having the solutions to exercises in the book.

1 Star Not worth the paper it is printed on.
This book is the most horrible book I have ever tried to study out of. I took Accounting twice, both times I concentrated the entire semester on just studying this book and accounting and I still have trouble with the subject of accounting. The videos were no help at all, just a talking head with power point slides, and whoever they used for the talking head guy put me to sleep every time I listened to him.
