Reader Reviews
This review is from: Financial Accounting Theory and Analysis: Text Readings and Cases, Eighth Edition (Hardcover)
Apparently, the previous two reviews were written by the authors. In all honesty, this is the most un-readable text I have encountered in my 4 years of undergrad and 1+ years of grad study. I can understand the diffuclty in translating FASB and SFAS principles to layman's terms, but the general flow of the text is verbose and time consuming. The follow up questions at the end of each chapter often refer to topics that are defined differently in the chapter itself, leading you to re-read and re-read the same chapter. Important topics that could be otherwise easily explained are drawn out to the point where you feel your just plain stupid. If you are a professor and your looking for a text to assign, this is not it. Unless you're a sadist.
