Let me start by saying, I had high hopes for 'Accounting For Dummies.' As someone who works in a finance-related role, I thought this book would be a handy refresher or maybe even teach me a few new tricks. Sadly, it fell way short of my expectations.

The biggest issue? Filler content. Each chapter feels like it's stretched thin, with only a handful of key terms and concepts actually explained in depth. It's frustrating when you're looking for practical knowledge but end up sifting through pages of fluff.

I also found the level of detail lacking. While it might be okay for a high school student just dipping their toes into accounting, anyone with even basic experience will find it too superficial. The title promises simplicity, but it oversimplifies to the point of being unhelpful.

Honestly, there are better free resources online that cover the same material more effectively. Save your money and skip this one unless you're truly starting from zero.
