I`d like that this book has all basics that you have to know in accounting. At the same time structure and material in this book are presented in a complicated way.

This is the single most terrible textbook I’ve ever worked with. If you are a professor looking to select a textbook for a class, please don’t pick this one. It is written in a very inaccessible language, the concepts are presented in almost impossible to comprehend way, it is poorly organized (the fact that assets increase with debits and liabilities with credits is introduced few chapters later after the original introduction of the balance sheet). I got a very good grade in the class in which I used this textbook so my negative comment about the book is not driven by dissatisfaction with the grade or class.
If you are a student who has to buy this book for a class, please buy another accounting text that you will find accessible. Trust me, you will need to use it a lot.

I would recommend this text for higher level accounting/financial analysis courses. There are many other books out there to dive into the exact nature of making journal entries etc. so don’t think of this as an excellent beginner to intermediate stlye text.
The cases are excellent for those who will be making upper level decisions not the actual day to day transactions.
