Ratings and reviews

I have absolutely no background in accounting and used this to get an idea on what I'll be getting myself into should I pursue further studies. Just done with Chapters 1-3, including tests. So far, I understood what I'm getting through with liberal use of other online resources and lots of conjecture. What I actually got from this book is that the writer has an ego, makes a lot of computation mistakes, and should not be a teacher or writer of education books. I will continue using this book as (1) I paid for it and can't return it, and (2) for lack of anything else, I can challenge myself and make a game out of finding the errors and how to get the correct way of things, learning as I go along. NOT recommended for those who believe this book alone could actually help them. In fact, this is NOT recommended AT ALL, period.

Read this book to page 84 and it won't let me reach page 416 coz of a silly mistake I made to take me to the appendix. It assumed I finished the book. I need to finish reading it! Do something about it please!

Nice
