Easy to read and comprehend. Take the mystery of what’s behind the key numbers in financial reports.
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 understand and useful even without an accounting background.
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.

Very Useful Primer
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.

Great book to learn about how to read financial reports, the basis for real investment.
Easy to follow and easy to understand. Not an expert at the end, but with it as a reference, it's almost as good! Plan to reread some sections to reinforce the info. This is not a novel, but it's not hard to understand.

Usuall Dummies series chatty fluff is annoying, otherwise good.
After a while I tire of skipping over the chatty fluff that one finds in the Dummies series. Can we get to the point, please? Otherwise a well written introduction.

Basic
It is basic. Nice to read but really is for the beginner. Not really surprised but on reading reviews I was hoping for more.
