I thought this book was tough until I read Microeconomic Theory by Mas-Colell. The Varian text is much clearer and intuitive by comparison.

Came to this book because of recommending from my professor. In reality, I don't like it as much as Micro Theory of Mas-Colell. It's probably more difficult than Kreps's book but less theoretical and mathematical than Micro theory of Mas Colell.
The math summary isn't good as I hope. Maybe this one in Mas Colell is much better.
It suits third-year undergrad or pre-master students than graduate level.

Not nearly as mathy as Mas-Colell, Whinston, and Green (MWG), and much more conversational in prose (for a microeconomic theorist, Varian is a great writer), I did find this textbook to be a great supplement to the primary materials in the core micro curriculum of my PhD program. I did find that Varian's explanation of the integrability problem - a way to solve the problem of deriving an expenditure function from observed consumer demand behavior - was better than MWG.

A Little inaccessible and not as complete a treatment of Micro as Mas Collell, Whinston, and Green

... :P as boring as microeconomics can be... However it explains Slutcki's and Hick's substitution and income effects quite well

Did not really read it but rather STUDIED it during my years at university. Easier that other handbooks to start reading/studying Economics.
