Summary: Effective and engaging!
Comment: What a fun and effective way to learn accounting! After years of teaching economics to MBA students and freshmen, I wish there had been textbooks written like this to facilitate instruction of often dry topics. It doesn't read like a textbook, rather it entertains while it teaches and got me personally involved. I didn't realize that I was learning accounting concepts until the chapter was over and I stopped laughing. I felt like I had a personal tutor with me each time I read it. Very interactive. Very fun. The material covered is comprehensive, starting out with basic terminology to the construction of a balance sheet to deriving an income statement to understanding how various business scenarios impact financial statements. Don't be put off by its simplicity, because that is what makes this book so effective and engaging. Anybody who wants to make learning interesting should read this book. Anybody who wants a great crash course in accounting to know how to read a balance sheet or explain one should read this book.

Summary: Interactive Learning..would like to see more on Service
Comment: The Accounting Game(tm)is a very interactive book I felt like I was being walked into accounting with simple, basic, easy to understand techniques and examples. The book's quality is also surprisingly good and the use of color and the example of a kid's lemonade stand was ingenious. The readers will need scrap paper, a pencil (and for those challenged somewhat by mathematics) a calculator. I would like to see more on the service industry accounting proceedures (they touched basically on it in this book, but I would like to have more information.)
Overall, I finished the book in 8 days and beginning to go through it again taking notes as I go along.

Summary: Wonderful book, but only an introduction to accounting
Comment: This is a wonderful book! It is very easy to understand and provides nice examples. I read this book a couple weeks before a took a college course in accounting and it helped my tremendously. However, there is one thing I would like to clear up. This book is by no means comprehensive; it is simply an introduction to the topic of accounting. There are many, many aspects of accounting which are not mentioned in this book. So, yes it is a great book to introduce the subject of accounting, but should probably be followed with a formal course if you really want to understand accounting.
