Customer Reviews

A little late

The book was in good condition but the product came 3 1/2 weeks after I ordered it.

A Natural

This textbook is brilliant...The authors write concepts that take other authors thousands of words to explain in less than a paragraph...I have taught economics for seven years and thought I'd never buy another intro book again...This book is like a murder mystery that you can't put down...

Microeconomics is Fun Again

This book is great! Would give it a 100 stars if they had it. It breaks down all these economic concepts that you are having trouble with into simple, basic ideas that you can relate to. It uses clear, everyday examples and discusses everything in such a conversational sense, you won't even remember you are doing MicroEcon. So this may come across to some as the book being written for high schoolers ( I personally didn't feel that way and I am an MBA), but isn't the whole objective to understand the material in the most basic sense, so you can remember and apply it? I read every chapter and skipped none. I was privileged to be a student of Bob Frank and all I can say is, What an extraordinary talent! I am glad that I didn't place out of his class because I considered doing that in the beginning. I cried on the last day of class. I would HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone at any level taking an introductory Microecon class.
