In short: not quite as great as "Principles of Microeconomics", but still well-written, informative, and very accessible.
For better or for worse, "Principles of Macroeconomics contains not a shred of math. While this might make for a terrible course textbook, it makes for great leisure reading (well - if you condition on the fact that you are, after all, reading an econ textbook). Mankiw aims to build your intuition, and altogether, he does a pretty good job.

An absolute must-read for everyone who hasn't had a maroeconomics ourse in their undergrad. The book offers a simple and concise explanation of the main concepts line interest and exchange rates, monetary and fisal policies etc. After reading this, you'll be able to identify all the bullshit that the FT authors are selling you :)
I have never had so much fun reading a textbook in my entire school career. It’s quite obvious that Principles of Macroeconomics was written for someone who has never studied economics before. I felt like I was having a conversation with the author of the textbook rather than reading a textbook.
Just like microeconomics, this "Principles of Macroeconomics" textbook goes over terms and concepts that is important in daily economics. Macroeconomics goes into the more board view of economics though. It looks at the country as a whole and its way of dealing its economy.
I had a lot of fun using this textbook. The textbook came with an online account that allowed me to do practice assignments, quizzes, flashcards, grids and so much more. I had taken economics before, but surprisingly, I learne...more

I read parts of this book when I took the course, three or four years ago, as I started yet another undergraduate degree. Now that I'm no longer able to pursue that, I'm finding my interest in economics is still piqued, and thus I'm revisiting this text, along with my others, front-to-back, to keep the knowledge fresh and to learn the material that wasn't covered by my instructors at the time.
I have never actually enjoyed reading a textbook before. This was so well written, I understood the concepts and thoroughly enjoyed it to boot.
LOL read it in summer in 1 week...For course book for uni, it was not a bad read.
Quite good explanations :)
The first 3/4s of the book were simple enough, easy to get through. The last quarter of the book got really dense, but I think the drag of a semester added to that. Overall it is a good basic look at macroeconomics.
I had access to an online version through Aplia and I read that too. The writing style is excellent and the layouts are nice, but I would have liked more explanation of the formulas.
Well, it was my text-book in the university and I liked it pretty much. It's easy-to-read and has a lot of true-to-live interesting examples and articles
Its sort of strange rating a text book - but it was quite good. I mean I enjoyed reading it.

Stopped reading. Was the wrong textbook for my course.
More or less better than the microeconomics. But not in depth. Of course!
