Microeconomics the Easy Way (Easy Way)

Summary: Good Study Guide of CLEP Test
Review: I bought this book to study of the CLEP exam. I have never had an economics class nor did I read any other study guides and I passed with a 74 out of 80 (you only need 50 points to pass). So I would say this taught me the fundamentals of economics. It was very dry at first, but then it got better as I started understanding the material better. The last chapter review questions were funny.
Some people overated it a bit, but it really is a good book. Not an extremely easy book, but very understandable.

Summary: laughing my way through microeconomics
Review: I would have never believed I would be laughing while learning microeconmics, but I did with this book. It is written with humor to help you grasp the subject. I am taking classes for my MBA and never had an economics class, but finished with a grade of 96 with the help of this book. I would seriously recommend this book to anyone studying microeconomics.

Summary: Suckered into buying another bad book
Review: Well the title of this book suckered me into purchasing it. This book is a joke and the author should be ashamed of himself. There is nothing easy about this, so the title is very misleading and is an obvious ploy to get you to buy the book. It has the same old problems of your dull, dense, jargon filled college text book. There just isn't enough explanations and the few that are in the book assume to much on the readers behalf and you still end up feeling stumped and disappointed that you didn't learn the skills. I wish I could recommend a different book for you guys out there struggling with ecnm 151 but I just haven't found a good book or an easier way to learn it....or should I say a way to learn it at all. If you want my advice, find the easiest teacher around that gives essay questions on tests or this class will hold you up from getting your degree. Also, study in groups if you can even though this is a luxury given the time constraints of college and insanely fast pace of ecnm classes. One final piece of advice is buy your college text book and start going through it a semester before you take the class because if you get a professor with and attitude and a liking to multiple choice questions your going to have a hard time. There is just too much subject matter here to master in a semester. Your professor mastered it because he/she teaches it, so don't feel bad if you get left behind on this subject. This is a typical college text book and class. They expect you to learn something on your own that you don't know in the first place and believe me you'll get no help from the instructors or this text book. The book seriously lacks explanations through out the text and on some of the more difficult and challenging problems. Oh and author if you read this...get an editor...sheesh. This book is just not a quality product.
