I find it difficult to give an accounting textbook a star rating... it didn't exactly keep me up at night, but the information was easy enough to follow. I especially enjoyed chapter 14.

What can I say...it's an accounting textbook so obviously it wasn't the most exciting book I have ever read. That being said, I enjoyed the practical life snipits that it relayed throughout each chapter. I always seem to get concepts better if someone can correlate them to real life rather than just spouting them off to me in technical jargon. The review problems at the end of each chapter were pretty well written, although they seem to go out of their way to try to confuse you in some.
