Very Good book for Financial and Mangerial Accounting,
By A Customer
This review is from: Accounting For Dummies, 2nd Edition (Paperback)
This is a great book for a person to use to suplment what is learned and practiced in Both entry level college accounting classes. It really will help you get a better grade in the class by reinforcing and explainations that are different then your typical college textbook. I highly reccomend this book for any college student that will be taking accounting, it is well worth it's price and I believe if read during the semester along with the practice in your class you will get a better grade. I did.

Not for people who want to learn how to crunch some numbers.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Accounting For Dummies, 2nd Edition (Paperback)
If you are looking for a book that actually gives you good examples that will teach you to crunch some numbers on your own and prepare accounting statements and such, then this is NOT the book for you. It has a lot of writing about the different areas of accounting, but it did little for me. I was looking for a book that gave me real life examples that could help me understand how to do minimal accounting for my smal business. Some of the other introduction to accounting books are much better in this regard.

not so exciting,
By Pauline (San Jose, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Accounting For Dummies, 2nd Edition (Paperback)
This book is quite disappointing, and I (someone with no accounting background) find it boring and too easy--the manual for an accounting software seems more exciting than this. I feel there is little about accounting in this book; rather, I find a huge section praising what accountants do. I think if numbers give you a headache and you abhor math, you may consider laboring through this book. Otherwise, try something else.
