A very helpful, although sometimes confusing book. 2007-12-06
This book is an amazingly helpful book for those of us who may be preparing to, or are currently in an economics class. Although it is probably one of the more amusing and easier read microeconomics texts I have read it did get rather confusing in some chapters. For example, elasticity in the market. I'm still confused by it, I had to use wikipedia to get a better grasp on that one. But I do commend it for taking a pretty bland and dry subject matter and making it easy to understand for most of us.
This was a fairly good textbook. 2007-01-09
The basics are all there, but the book gets heavily into the equations of economics, which can leave you feeling a bit overwhelmed. This is a good starter book for those interested in pursuing a career in economics.
Wonderful Textbook  2007-01-03
The author really breaks down the basic concepts and principals of economics so that it is easy to follow. In addition to being able to effectively explain and convey concepts the author is very humorous and witty and the book does not read like so many boring textbooks. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to learn the basics of economics.
MisleadingTitle  2005-08-29
I bought this book as a refresher. The author goes through the material very quickly. His writing isn't very clear and I'm frustrated by the format of the book -- too much text, not enough examples or summaries. I'm sticking to my old college textbook.
Good Study Guide of CLEP Test 2004-03-16
I bought this book to study of the CLEP exam. I have never had an economics class nor did I read any other study guides and I passed with a 74 out of 80 (you only need 50 points to pass). So I would say this taught me the fundamentals of economics. It was very dry at first, but then it got better as I started understanding the material better. The last chapter review questions were funny.
Some people overated it a bit, but it really is a good book. Not an extremely easy book, but very understandable.
