 CONFUSING!!!!! Horrible text! March 14, 2008

Materials are not systematically presented.
Recommend Ross's Fundamentals of Corporate Finance, Corporate Finance and Modern Financial Management.
 Just perfect. September 6, 2007

Although I did not pass the exam that I took. The problem was with the exam not the book. This is an excellent book with lot of work done to ensure that the book is perfect.
The presentations available online with this book have a few mistakes.
Not great for the beginner July 17, 2007

This book is not very clear in its explanations and does not have too many worked examples. Not sure why my MBA school prescribes this. I recommend reading Fundamentals of Corporate Finance Standard Edition by Stephen Ross, Randolph Westerfield.
Lacking Full Explanations June 6, 2007
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
This book leaves me with more questions about finance than I have answers. Who do the authors think they are writing for? It surely is not the beginner MBA student. It seems like words are expensive because they do not fully or even partially explain concepts. Finance is difficult but it should not be impossible. I should not have to read and reread to figure out what the heck they are talking about. Maybe they should serve as advisors to this text and let someone who knows how to write actually write the book. These guys may be leaders and brillant but they are poor communicators. I'm not thrilled with my professor either. Is he a cheerleader or a teacher?
Good introductory finance book April 11, 2007

This is an easy to ready comprehensive introduction to basic finance concepts. I would not recommend it to finance majors but I consider it a good choice for general MBA or other students that do not have a stong quantitative finance background.
