1 out of 5 stars Ugh.......2007-04-23

I was so lost with this book and thought it was my lack of background knowledge in the topic that was causing all the confusion. Nope, even my friend who is a CPA was stumped by this book's explanations. If your prof insists on using this book get the Schaum's Guideline of Managerial Accounting study guide/outline. It will save your bacon and your GPA.

4 out of 5 stars Extremely useful for financial accounting.......2006-05-27

Financial accounting is a difficult subject but this book helps break down the concepts in a way that is easier to understand.

2 out of 5 stars not a good book for beginners.......2006-02-19

the whole structure of the book is ot comprehensible. it gives out 3 financial statements at the first 3 chapters, without letting the readers to have time digest the concepts. after you are confused enough, the book will then introduce concepts of each items listed in the statements, and have you look back at the first three chapters.

the layout is not good either. for some chapters, you need to turn the pages back and forth, again and again, because the text content and the illustration table are back to back.

the book is just very confusing.

4 out of 5 stars What do you expect from an accounting book???.......2005-11-20

Having never taken an accounting class before, I didn't know what to expect. This was the text assigned for my first accounting class in an MBA program at an elite Northeastern Business School. It is a pretty straight-forward read. Let's face it, accounting is a subject full of jargon that you MUST learn. It is just one of those subjects.

The text had ample exercises and was fairly easy to read. However, you must be able to have an attention span greater than 5 minutes to be able to read this book.

2 out of 5 stars unclear, disorganized, vague language.......2004-08-25

The title pretty much sums it up, I think this book is pretty bad.

1 out of 5 stars YUCK.......2007-01-30

I absolutely HATE this textbook. It is poorly organized and does not "teach" accounting. It does provides plenty of examples, however with no instruction, one can merely muddle through them. Even with limited expectations considering the subject itself, the book is dull and nearly unreadable. If I could throw it away, I would.

5 out of 5 stars Rigorous Book.......2007-01-03

I believe that the book assumes that reader has the ability to read and digest complex ideas. It's not for people who like the Dummies or Idiot's series.

I would think that any person who intends to get an MBA should be able to follow this book.

The only downside is that the initial chapters give too much information which might cause the reader to be overwhelmed.

Don't worry. This information will be repeated many times as the book progresses.

5 out of 5 stars PRACTICAL AND CLEAR APPROACH TO AMERICAN ACOUNTABILITY SYSTEM.......2006-07-03

THIS BOOK CONTAINS A CLEAR EXPLANATION OF THE AMERICAN ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM.
IT HAS A LOT OF EXERCISES BASED ON REAL FIRMS THAT IT MAKES A MUST -HAVE BOOK FOR PEOPLE INTERESTED IN THIS ISSUES.
GOING THROUGH IT IS A FASCINATING APPROACH TO HOW A COMPANY WORKS AND WHY TAKES ITS BUSINESS DECCISSIONS IN A CERTAIN MOMENT.
I HIGHLY RECOMEND THIS BOOK FOR ITS EASY COMPREHENSION AND FOR ITS PRACTICAL EXAMPLES.

2 out of 5 stars I paid $150 for this???.......2006-01-23

This book has potential but is overshadowed by several flaws:
1) Perhaps the biggest flaw: I was surprised at how many mistakes were in this book -- I encountered chapter review problems that mathematically did not work out or were missing information that was necessary to complete the problem.
2) It claims to be a text for students with no previous accounting knowledge, but I found it very difficult to follow until after my professor had already taught the material. I consider myself to be an intelligent person, but I found this book too advanced until I had a basic understanding of the concepts.
3) The book frequently directs you to refer to problems or information on previous pages. I find it frustrating to have to keep flipping pages to understand the concept being described.
4) The 11th edition deleted references to T-Accounts -- yet that was how my professor taught much of the course.

1 out of 5 stars This is not a textbook..........2006-01-22

This is at best a reference for professional accountants. For students, like me, it is not helpful, to say the least. To understand what the authors want to say, I had to refer to other accounting texts in the library or on the web.

4 out of 5 stars Very good.......2005-12-12

I liked the examples in this book. If you purchase this book with solution manual and study guide you can really get a lot out.

Book Description

The first edition of Porter/Norton was the most successful new entry into the financial accounting market in twenty years. This third edition holds true to the original vision of teaching the subject from both the preparer and user perspective, but with a revision focused on greater accessibility to the variety of students taught. Two annual reports (Gateway and Ben JerryÆs) and an annual update program with price stability guarantee highlight the third edition package.

5 out of 5 stars Get the new edition, not the 9th edition.......2002-09-18

I am the co-author of this book. the 10th edition is now out. If you are a student, you'll want that. If you're trying to learn on your own, you'll find this 9th edition adequate and much cheaper. good luck. roman

5 out of 5 stars Great for graduate study.......2002-08-22

Many people get this book wrong. This is a book for graduate students, not for undergraduates. It introduces the concepts of financial accounting in a condensed way, which does require more time and patient to understand it, like the way we study in MBA program. Since this book assumes its reader as future statement readers, it introduces finanical statements, including balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement,in the first few chapters to let student understand the linkage among them. It is usually very difficult to understand for those without background, though. Plus, given the fact that this book is required by most of top MBA programs, like Chicago, Columbia, and NYU, I'd like to say that accounting professors have told us the quality of this book. For those who have a hard time on this, I would also recommend its accompanied study guide and solution manuals (used one available on amazon website ISBN 0030269695& ASIN: 0030182697; make sure get the right edition!!). After all, this is a good book, but requires more practices. Good luck.

4 out of 5 stars A Good Introductory Text.......2001-12-30

I'd never had any accounting courses before. This textbook was required for my financial accounting course in an MBA program. The book does a good job of logically explaining all the important topics. Unfortunately, it takes a Herculean effort to sit down and study the material due to the dry subject matter.

The authors did a good job of using examples from real firms, which, I think, makes it more interesting. I've decided to keep this book after the course for a reference.

1 out of 5 stars Accounting for dummies (ahem, I mean Lawyers).......2001-10-16

I am a 2nd year law student in the top 10% of my class at a first tier law school (meaning, I'm capable of reading and comprehending dense material). I took an accounting class thinking it would be helpful knowledge in the practice of law. My professor - fantastic. This text book - awful. The only reason I was able to (hopefully) get a good grade (the exam was last week) was that the professor was so good at explaining the concepts he felt were important. The book was confusing and overly verbose (coming from a wordsmith & soon to be lawyer, that statement should be given much weight!!) There were many exercises, but truth be told it was the professor's explanations that allowed me to do the exercises, NOT the book's.

1 out of 5 stars You're going to get confuse!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2001-06-15

Firstly,I really want to rate this book zero star or minus star.I've bought this book because I used it in my MBA course .This book made me hate Accounting too.I strongly agree with rewiewer " this book made me hate accounting" .After I've read this book for many times I found it very wordy I can summarise the concept in one line whereas the books try to explain too much (2-3 pages)and also irrelavant.Eventhough the authur uses a lot of explanations, but can not be understood.IT is very vital to you to keep your money for the movie, put in the bank ,or doing whatever except buying this book.Anyway this book has a lot of exercises( Not so extremely bad)
