Case study is worth reading..........2007-04-21

First part of this book is about reading financial statements. If you already know the statements, you don't need to read the first part. However, even if you can read the statements, the second part, case study, will be helpful to your real analysis.

good case study.......2006-04-30

I found the chapters are not very in detail. I was using it as the textbook and the lecture notes are way better. I read the book at the begginning but stopped in the middle as it doesn't really help. However, the end of chapter case studies are pretty good.

Useful if cumbersome.......2002-12-16

This review applies to the edition WITH CASES. This isn't recommended for anyone who is just starting out with choosing investments. Beginners might be better off with a more general overview of financial statement analysis (FSA) like Higgins' "Analysis of Financial Statements" or Fraser and Omriston's "Understanding Financial Statements".

This was one of two textbooks used in a financial statement analysis course I took for my MBA. Most chapters are down-to-earth and as a whole the book is well-written.

The other text we used was Penman's "Financial Statement Analysis and Security Valuation" which was also a great resource as far as gaining a basic understanding of the mechanics of financial statements and how to build a valuation model.

I contrast the two books because while Penman provides a run-down of several different models analysts can use (and does a good job of arguing for the Residual Income Model of valuation model as being the best), Palepu delves into the implications of companies' choices of accounting methods and provides more insight into what different kinds of businesses should look like in terms of their financial statements.

The cases at the end of each chapter add a lot of value to the text because they get students to focus on the specific issues detailed in each chapter. By picking apart different companies' financial statements we learned to use financial statements to assess the success or failure of companies' efforts to carry out their business strategies.

I rate it "Good - 4 stars"

Required Text.......2002-09-17

This is a required text at my school, but after having read the first 5 chapters there is almost nothing of value that I have read. I have spoken to several people that have used this text for the class in prior semesters and they told me that they had stopped reading it after the first several chapters also.

Excellent Capstone Book.......2000-10-12

This book is an excellent description of all the elements that would go into reviewing a potential investment opportunity. It is not a detailed book in one category, such as financial accounting, but it ties business strategy analysis, financial analysis, forecasting analysis, and valuation analysis together. Most other books focus on one area and don't tie all of these together well. This one takes you down the path to evaluating the opportunity to its fullest. It is an excellent capstone book after you have sifted through the details of strategy, finance, and accounting.

Bad and piece of krap.......2002-12-10

This book was written by a non accounting guy probably who knew more finance than accounting. This book should not be prescribed by any college or professor for accounting! Its terrible to comprehend coz the author does not explain from where or how he gets the numbers for the problems that he has worked out in the book. This book is confusing, creates frustration, and basically makes you loose your patience in minutes upon reading. I feel like I have been cheated of my hard earned money

Very disappointing book...........2002-12-07

This book is very disappointing. I also believe that this book is targeted to accountants, however, I think that it was written as a class project. This book is loaded with problems.

For example, there are references to things for which there are no definations (e.g. materiality of options) there are basic errors in the case study (e.g. Case 9-5, p. 355, "Cumulative effect of accounting change, 189,191) and the 'supporting' CD does _not_ contain ANY of the income statement or balance sheets needed to solve any of the problems or case studies. These are just a few examples of the problems/errors that I've found.

I'm sorry, but for and Eighth Edition and a good sum of money, I expected more!

The only reason that I give it one star is because I could not give it any less (seriously!!).

poor textbook.......2002-11-26

This book was written by an accountant and it is readable only to accountants. If you do not have practical and extensive experience in accounting, you will have hard time learning about financial analysis. Explanations are very brief and not helpful. Only good thing about it is a lot of examples and good problems and cases to work on.

bad as bad can be.......2004-07-14

Don't buy this expensive but bad book! This is truly the worst book in accounting/finance I have read so far. It is awfully written. Often, I did not understand what Gibson wants to say. Only after consulting other books did I get the point .The book also focuses too much on technical details (which items include/exclude in ratios) but does not discuss their broader context. And last but not least, the questions and problems at the end of the chapters contain not one single answer. Which means, Gibson wants us to buy the study guide and dish out more money . But if that guide is as bad as the book, its a waste of money. I cannot understand how a book in its 9th edition can be that bad...
