Title: Difficult to Read, Impossible to Understand
Product review: After reading all the "glowing" reviews of this book, I just felt compelled to write my own review. First of all, this book has got to be one of the "worst" Accounting books I have ever read. Sure, all the authors are esteemed academics, but they present the material in a complicated and rather technical manner. Rather than focusing on the basics, there are numerous pages wasted on explaining the minute differences between international and US accounting. I read many of the chapters several times over, and still had trouble understanding exactly what the authors were trying to communicate. Overall, the book might be okay as a decoration piece on a professor's book shelf, but as a basic, hands-on tool for the beginning or even intermediate student it fails miserably.
