These books are great for the money you spend. I have the 2012 version and have passed the three test I've taken, first try. I would HIGHLY recommend getting the CPATestBank software too, it's also not very expensive and very, very helpful. It follows the books exactly. I read a module and then get on the computer and take a few 10 question "pop quizzes". My only complaint is the books have typos, a lot of them. They aren't major typos and if you understand the basic concepts to begin with then you should be able to tell when there are typos but still it's annoying that they are there. Wiley is a pretty respected company in the accounting education world so I expected better. Still a VERY good buy for the money. Also, the Testbank questions are worded exactly like the real CPA tests so it made me a lot more comfortable when I took the tests.

While I've enjoyed several other book projects by the Lucky Peach team, I found this one to be kinda dumb. Sure, I appreciate the stupid humor they're sort of going for, but I feel that the culinary part doesn't have much substance. I made several of the recipes and found them to be ho hum. Just uninteresting, boring, blah. They also go for a 70s photo style, which unfortunately does not make the dishes look appetizing.

A little challenging to install but a great, solid product. Survived a two week road trip and held strong the whole way.
