Not for students, October 12, 2008

This textbook will only confuse anyone coming to intermediate accounting for the first time. It is extremely obtuse in its discussions and hardly provides any examples for the reader to learn from. Instead it is highly discursive about exceptions and rare instances, but never adequately teaches the basics before moving on to these topics.

If you are coming to intermediate accounting for the first time and actually want to LEARN accounting, get Horngren’s “Accouting”. It may not look like much, but it’s got it where it counts!

Kieso’s book I belive is useful for those who already know accounting, but are seeking an advanced discussion. I believe professors chose this text because they are bored with the basics that they already know. For the student, this book will leave you unprepared for both the exercise problems at the end of each chapter and for your tests, including the CPA exam.

If you are assigned this text and the problems from it, I recommend reading the same topics in Horngren first (usually he breaks Kieso’s topics into two short chapters) and then reading the same material in Kieso [shudder] before taking on the problems.

Intermediate Accounting, Update
Intermediate Accounting is a comprehensive, attractive textbook. The usefulness of the exercises is curtailed by the lack of an answer section. I guess it is a marketing ploy to produce workbooks separately instead of providing even abbreviated answers in textbooks, nowadays. Apart from this deficiency, the book is very useful for studying accounting principles.

Plot twists galore, August 14, 2010

By 

Mary “Commuter” (San Francisco) –

Amazon Verified Purchase(What’s this?)

This review is from: Dead Men’s Money (Paperback)

I fun read. Set in a small English village in the early 1900′s. You’ll figure out “who done it” early on, but that doesn’t stop the fun. This book is like reading a Saturday serial, there are a variety of plot twists to maintain your interest throughout the book.

A waste of money, February 24, 2010

By 

Poo Poo “Face” –

This review is from: Engineering Economy (9th Edition) (Paperback)

I’ve had my share of bad text books, but this one is definitely in the top 2 worst of my college books. To start, the book doesn’t really teach anything. It’s completely up to you to learn on your own what this book so terribly fails at trying to teach. How am I supposed to learn how to do the math when the chapters are filled with words describing (badly) the circumstances you would use the method (which I’m still really confused about) instead of actually showing how to use it? There are a few examples per chapter, but they are terribly laid out and the problem solving isn’t really easy to follow at all. You cannot do the homework problems given the examples (the examples they do are much easier than the HW problems) and mind-numbingly boring array of words preceding them. The only thing this book has taught me about economics is not to waste my money on textbooks again without an in-depth look at what other students say about it. DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK. DO NOT MAKE YOUR STUDENTS BUY THIS BOOK. It has caused me nothing but frustration in this class… a class which shouldn’t be difficult or frustrating in the first place.
