Summary: this book rocks!
Comment: I recently used this book for an accounting class. I am not really an "accounting head", having come from a computing background, and I had to do the course as a graduate degree requirement. I found the book to be very thorough and well written. The authors took their time to explain every new term throughout. The book also has numerous exercises [maybe too many]. I do not expect to "do accounting" in the future, but if I have to, I'll get a copy of this book again. In reading this book, I found my professor's advice quite handy: 1. start off with the learning objectives for each chapter; 2. read the chapter summary; 3. check all the diagrams in the chapter; 4. read the text; 5. practice as many exercises as you can; 6. finally, review your work. I did this and smashed the course [B+--not bad for a "non-accounting head"]. I found the accompanying study guide [By LeBronne Harris and James Moon] invaluable also. This is probably the best book out there on Financial Accounting.

Summary: Better than one dimensional accounting books
Comment: This is a great book for persons who want an integrated approach to financial analysis. I think it is best used as a reference (I wouldn't want to read through it), and have used it frequently as such, post-MBA (NYU). It should definitely not be looked at as an accounting primer, nor even as an accounting textbook. While another leading text instructs on one-dimensional "analysis" of financial statements, this book provides a much more multi-dimensional framework for analyzing information. Not for the faint-hearted or for those who just want rote number-crunching techniques.

Summary: This is a great book
Comment: I am currently enrolled in the CFA program (Level II candidate), and this book was used for my first corporate finance class. I must say that I was a bit turned off at first by the amount of colorful pictures and charts the Brigham book contained under the assumption that the more staid the book was, the less gimmicks it had and the better it was (like the Brealey-Myers book). However, I was repeatedly struck by how conscise Brighams' explanations and examples were. The book not only had exhaustive coverage, but it was very well-written. The vignettes at the beginning of each of the chapter really shows a good application of the chapter's lesson in the real world.
When ever I come across a question concerning finance, I almost always reach for the Brigham and Houston book first--it's that good.
