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. ...more

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.

Did not really read it but rather STUDIED it during my years at university. Easier that other handbooks to start reading/studying Economics.
A Little inaccessible and not as complete a treatment of Micro as Mas Collell, Whinston, and Green
