Intermediate Accounting
This book is difficult for the student to understand. I felt that I had learned nothing in my previous accounting classes. Even though the text seems straightforward in some areas, the chapter problems are difficult - the student needs more knowledge. If it had not been for the Solution Manual, I would have had no idea how to approach the homework problems. Author is presenting information above the student level. It's OK to stretch, but not at the expense of learning. Even our professor strongly suggested that we invest in another author's text in order to understand the material. I ended up dropping the class and taking it again 2 years later. By then, another text was in use.A relative had the author as an instrtucor in college and told me Kieso was just as obtuse in class and expected students to know more than they should at that level of accounting instruction. Thank goodness there are other, student friendly Intermediate Accounting textbooks. such as the one by Dy Dyckman. Dyckman's book was the best out of the 4 that I purchsed and got me through the 3 Intermediate Accounting classes I have recently completed.

Unparalled
This book (and the course) is the transitional step in becoming an accountant (or not). I feel compelled to say that this book should be considered as a bible for all accountants. It is tedious, but very rewarding for all who can last the journey through inventories, receivables, etc. Eat, sleep, drink with it, do whatever you can because this book is one of the best published pieces on accounting to date. Don't leave home without it.
