Summary: A voice of reason
Review: I disagree with both of the previous reviewers. As someone involved in self-study in preparation for certification, I find this text extraordinarily helpful. The chapters are short and manageable, and the end-of-chapter review material is thorough enough that I can leave a chapter and go on to the next confident that I've retained all that is necessary. And for the five or six bucks I paid for a sixty-chapter textbook, I can't complain.

Summary: Intermediate Accounting and the online Joke
Review: I think that your online quizes are the most rediculous things I have seen in my four years of college. Not only are they on such minute detail that they require several readings of your material in order to pick out the correct answers, they are enforcing a feeling of defeat in the early part of my semester. Your tests do not measure what I have learned, they measure how much raw data I have memorized, this will not assist me in becoming a better accountant. I suggest you revamp your tecnique and use your web site to assist in learning rather than the emphasis on memorizing small accounting factoids that are buried deep in your poorly written and overpriced texts.

Summary: Slow torture
Review: This book is by no stretch of the imagination good at what it aims to do...teach accounting. The explanations are lengthy and tend not to explain the concept fully. I have taken previous accounting courses and this text is laughably horrible. Not only that, but the problems at the end of the chapter are absolutely horrendous. These problems are poorly worded and require further explanation from the professor (who sometimes has no clue himself). This book does nothing to prepare me for a future in financial analysis. All in all, I would only recommend this book if a person really wanted to find a reason to commit suicide or simply die of boredom.
