I finished the book and did all the fact-checks, but I don't get the feeling that I understand Financial Statement any better than I did before I started this book.
To be fair, it could be my problem. I need to go over this book for 2nd or 3rd time if I need to get a better grasp of the concept of this book.
But the language and the way it explains financial statement doesn't make it any simpler to understand. Conversely, it could be quite confusing at times.
My another idea is to get another book on understanding financial statements.
In short, I would NOT recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn to understand financial statements.

Curioso librito con una metodología muy definida que explica la contabilidad y su uso en siete simples lecciones, con exámenes de comprobación del aprendizaje al final de cada capítulo y con un tono socarrón inesperado para una materia tan árida.
