I wasn't too impressed with this text. I found that many of the chapters were incredibly verbose, and seemed to confuse me even more in some instances. Perhaps one of the problems (obviously not Brigham's fault) was that my prof "wizzed" through some of these chapters, so reading the "wordy, never-ending" chapters was overwhelming. Further, I think that some concepts could have been more simplified, when instead Brigham seemed to ramble and "lost" me. In short, I think some "academics" (profs, grad students, etc) might be impressed with the depth with which Brigham wrote. However, not all of the students are on the same level, and this must be taken into consideration when the author revises the text. We are using the text as a guide for learning, not as a means to evaluate the author's aptitude in the field of finance...

Confusing, convoluted, not worth your money.
This text is one of the most hard-to-read finance book I have ever come across. The authors must have been mentally retarded or on drugs, or something. Instead of explaining a concept in one page Brigham and company will take up to 30 pages to explain in the most confusing twisted language. I pity the student who has to go thru what I went thru to learn intermediate finance concepts. This book is the biggest waste of your hard earned money! Similar Products
