Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐This otherwise well written book is the victim of inept editing resulting in an incredible number of errors (I noted 55) including numerical entry, calculation, text reference, trailing zeros, decimal point and table heading. Most of these errors occur in section 3 and if you’re just going to skim through without drilling down into the examples, you may not even notice a lot of them. But, for someone attempting to use this book to actually understand and learn how to calculate the metrics derived from financial reports, it is a confusing mess.

⭐Great book. Easy to read and understand. Great explanations and examples. However, found many numerical errors which should have been caught by the editor. Here are some errors.. Page 168 “Mattel made a net profit of 10.05 percent should be 12.1 percent. Page 170 Hasbro Current ratio calculation = 2.13 and the next line says it’s 2.61. Page 175, Calculating debt to shareholder’s equity, $3,067,044 Shareholder’s equity should be $3,067,044,000 and the 1.08 (Debt to shareholder’s equity) should be 1.12. Page 176 Mattel used $1.29 should be $1.12. Bottom line: Great Book. Just need to check the calculations and numbers, especially in Chapter 12. You can see I love the book from the detail I provided. It’s a staple in my home library. Great author. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to provide feedback.Julian Crawford

⭐Easy to follow; financial statement concepts clearly explained. However, someone needs to edit out typos and miscalculations, especially in the examples–they get worse in the latter half of the book.

⭐I purchased this book in hopes of gaining insight with the financial reports pertaining to accounting. This book only includes the income statement & balance sheet. I will be returning it because it’s not at all what I needed.

⭐As expected.

⭐Like most Dummy books, they’re great for short-cutting or reviewing almost anything.I wanted to refresh my knowlege of financial reports so I’d get more out of quarterlyreports on investments. Easy to understand and gives you plenty of information even ifyou don’t have an accounting background.

⭐Great book highly recommend

⭐Easy reading

⭐good and easy to understand, tells basics well, could be a bit shorter but still manageable

⭐Disappointed with the quality of the book for the price. Seems like it’s a copy of a book rather than the original printed book.

⭐Fair product and good service

⭐Das Buch ist mühsam zu lesen – nicht da es kompliziert wäre, vielmehr ist es mühsam verfasst: Bestimmte “Phrasen” wiederholen sich unzählige mal. Der Text ist monoton und unliebsam verfasst – es liest sich alles wie zusammengestoppelte Textbausteine – Einschlafgefahr! Im Grunde eine Auflistung von Kennzahlen, die mit mehr oder weniger Text umrandet werden, sodass sich letztlich doch ein Buch ausgeht. Die verwendeten Daten sind alt, teilweise auch falsch eingebracht – so ist eine Tabelle für die Jahre 2006 und 2007 – im Text wird dann von den Jahren 2011 und 2012 berichtet und die Zugehörigen Daten passen natürlich auch nicht… Nach gefühlten 100mal zur Hand nehmen habe ich zu Beginn des Kapitels 4 endgültig aufgeben müssen.

⭐Not found.

⭐Best explanation…
