I did *not* read this book cover to cover, but I just finished the last chapter required for my MBA financial accounting course so marking it as read is the one thing I can say I actually accomplished in this class.

Too dense to explain accounting

I suffered through this book for my accounting course at Fuqua, Duke's School of Business. Although it was written by two highly lauded Duke professors, this book is not easy to understand and quite verbose and confusing. I learned the basic concepts by teaching myself with the practice problems and answer guide rather than reading the chapters. The concepts are explained in too much detail and not in a logical order, which makes reading this book with tiny print unbearable. I do not recommend this book if you have no basic knowledge of accounting.

When I finished reading this book, I rejoiced and then burned it (not really I will sell it to you for fitty dolla)

I was forced to read this. It is good for putting you to sleep.

Long and boring but necessary for the understanding of business accounting.

[Edy · Rating 1 out of 5]

Ugh, quite possibly one of the most boring books I have ever had the misfortune to open.

The best accounting book I've read!

As tough as his class was, you can definitely hear Weil speaking in this textbook.

And this is my second excuse for not having read anything more interesting recently.
