Review: INCREDIBLY USEFUL! MADE ME FINANCIALLY LITERATE! - I am a Finance major currently studying at University, yet, this book has given me an unambiguous understanding of a subject matter that many consider unclear and extremely challenging. I myself have fallen into a similar dilemma within lectures, needing to fully grasp my professors' way of communicating Finance and Economics. However, Mr. Makoujy's "How To Read a Balance Sheet" has enlightened me to understand real-world Financial Literacy in such a concise book. I would highly recommend this work to anyone willing and able to begin, broaden, or grow their financial background and basic understanding. In fact, I CONSIDER IT GOLD.
Review: Good short primer - A good basic primer written in an approachable style without being dumbed down. The writer gives good overview of Balance Sheet and Income Statement, discounting the relative importance of Cash Flow statement. Interesting discussion of aspects of financial statements that are subject to manipulation.

A good basic primer written in an approachable style without being dumbed down.

Interesting discussion of aspects of financial statements that are subject to manipulation.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Straight-Forward and Entertaining
*by L***I on May 4, 2010*

I really enjoyed this book. I just wish this book could have been available 20 years ago when I was in college. This book accomplished in a few hours what a boring professor struggled to do in a whole semester... to teach me the basics of accounting and financial statements. My professor made me feel dumb. This book helped me feel smart again. I appreciated the examples and easy to follow scenarios in the book, which helped me to see how certain financial concepts and ideas show up in everyday business situations and reality. Thanks for writing a book for the general public.
