Worth the effort to read
This book does a great job reviewing all the basics of business, accounting, finance and statistics at a beginner's level. The book is very easy to follow-especially if you have a little business background, but at the same time teaches you quite a bit in a short amount of time. It took me about 10 hours to read the entire book and work all the problems at a leisurely pace. If you are looking for a book that will fill in a lot of gaps in a short amount of time, I would definitley recommend this book as an introduction to your CFA level 1 studies.

Invaluable for a Starting Candidate in the CFA Program
This book is simply an exceptional warm up for candidates that are entering the CFA program. It is a must read.The material is straight-forward, high-level, and clear. CFA Basics is obviously not intended to replace the core materials in the CFA program; however, it is an outstanding complement. It is also a quick read.

Mixed feelings...
I just finished reading this book and want to share the impression.I expected more. It is simple, sometimes too simple. I can hardly imagine the person with non-finance background which can leard much of it. Much more reading and study is necessary.
It can be helpful to people whose mother tongue is not English (like me).
It is something that is better to read than not to read, but for this purpose it is slightly overpriced ...
