Worst Text Book Ever - By: A. Hughes, 24 Jan 2008 
I relied on this book for a first year module ('Principles of Microeconomics') of a economics degree. I recently took the exam, 35 multiple choice questions, & thanks to this book (well, my lecturer for recommending it), it looks as though i will have to resit it (unless i get lucky of course).
It is just so badly written. The author tries to fit so much on to the one page (about a thousand words) that it's pretty much impossible to understand it alll. Plus, it has to be the dullest book ever. No fancy headings or nothing. The author is american too, so it is very americanized, which makes it even harder for someone from the UK to understand. I have been absolutely fine with alll my other textbooks, even macroeconomics, but with this one, i couldn't go more than half a page without getting lost. Seriously though, if you are going to be relying a lot on a text book to get you through a microeconomics module, there are plenty of more books out there. Just make sure you don't waste your money on this piece of crap.
re: additional Microeconomics and Behaviour workbook - By: D. M. Patel, 18 Jan 2008 
I would advise anyone buying this book to also purchase the accompanying Microeconomics & Behaviour Studyguide by James Halteman (Author). It helped me get a 1st in my University Exam at Oxford.
