a great STARTING point

I think that reading CPA Fast Track is a great way to BEGIN studying for the CPA exam. As opposed to other books that go into tremendous detail, this book just hits on the main topics. The material is presented logically and it's easy to understand. You can read through the entire book(250pgs)which covers all four parts of the exam relatively quickly. This book works very well with the Wiley problems and solutions book. Reading this book will give you a foundation in the basic material. Working lots of the problems and reading the solutions in the Wiley book reinforces the basics and covers lots of the detailed information that the book doesn't touch upon. I actually liked this book so much that I bought and I'm using the authors other CPA review materials which include fantastic cassettes, software T/F questions, and flashcards. Again, the author really cuts down the amount of material and focuses on the essentials that are needed to pass the exam. I think it's a good approach for anyone who doesn't want to feel overwhelmed and confused when studying for the CPA exam. The book also can be used as a last minute review, but I think it works great as a starting point in your preparation. It also can serve as a guide to filter out the less important information you'll encounter if you're using other review materials. It's worth the small investment, and I'm happy I found it.

not enough.

It is very condensed and not enough of material is covered. I really recommend Wiley cpa review by Delaney. It is 5 times thick, but it really cover all material you need for cpa.but on the other hand, let say cpa test is only a week away, and you want to cover key material for cpa, then you should have it.
