I do not normally read this type of book.  After I began the first one, I was hooked.  It was a well written page turner from beginning to end.

This book calls to mind the old saying - "You get what you pay for." I have to agree with another reviewer that the Premier version of the book is well worth the extra $10. The missing math refresher, tips and online practice tests are well worth the money.

On the other hand if you feel fairly comfortable with your knowledge level and just want a little extra review material, this is a good choice. P-)

Although the book is more of a primer, there are some pages worth the price. I really enjoyed the book as it presented  some perspectives I hadn't considered previously.

This well written book is worth the money and the time. I was a little distressed at the author's disregard of her host's feelings about doing this book, but all in all, I don't regret buying it, or reading it.

If you have shifted through a couple of reviews and are still deciding whether to buy this product you can be assured that this title is worth your interest. I have read a variety of "laymen's" economics books and this one earns enough merit to be considered a good book. As a disclaimer, my expectations as a reader are not to gain an expansive knowledge base on economics or to weigh the theories set forth in this book against other equally reputable theories that are existent currently.

As with any book, this work will be appealing to you depending on what you are looking for in a read. With Naked Economics you can be guaranteed a broad overview of many foundational topics in economics that are made relevant to the times and are also captivating. If you are looking for a certain writing style, I would comment that while Wheelan is not as funny as a Vonnegut type fellow, but he provides his fare share of humor to keep the reader turning pages. In terms of raw information the book does a good job of avoiding the stretching that you may see at the end of many titles like this. Basically, if something has piqued your interest in economics in any manner and you want to feel more informed, be quite entertained, and possibly rethink some of the basic transactions that you encounter in your week, this is the book for you.

I give the book 5 stars because it accomplishes what I believe the author sent out to do. Even if there are competing theories out there as opposed to the ones that this author offers, the book presents its side clearly and forgivingly; for those of us who did not go to school for 6 years to get a Masters in economics it is ideal.

If you only get a couple of good tips out of this book, it is well worth the time spent reading it.  I DID.

It was worth paying for this book. I needed this book for a college course and it came on time. The book of the condition is decent. I got what I paid for. There was writing and highlight in certain pages but I really don't mind that I just need to read the context. There was no missing pages nor torn pages except for the front cover, but I can just taped that. I'm happy with my purchase.
FYI: I bought this book early  Jan 2011

There is a lot of good information for the money especially if you like mathematics.  Even if you're not a mathematician, you should be able to glean good information from this book.

This isn't the best book on the subject, but it is worth the money.  There are some nice patterns in this volume...and it is well written with clear instructions.

I understood a portion of what was in this book, but then I am a beginner.  Photos and illustrations would make this book actually valuable.

I knew this material.  I don't think I disagreed necessarily with any of the information.  However the price of this book is nothing to complain about.
