Summary: Not that helpful for trying to teach yourself
Comment: This book assumes a knowledge that not everyone will have. It has an algebra/pre-calc review section, but the review is very basic (ie what an exponent is). The problems require you to remember about negative exponents and cube roots and whatnot.
The explanation parts are very simple and the problems are much more complex.It's hard to make the connection, and the answers in the back don't explain anything. (Don't buy the solutions manual - it's not any more help.) The answers are also simplified in inconsistent ways, so it's sometimes hard to use even if you have the problem right. Calculus for Dummies was more helpful, and explains a little better. It's still not as in depth as the problems in Brief Calculus, though.
(Sidenote: I'm "trying to teach myself" because my professor is incomprensible and has illegible writing as well.)

Summary: Yeah, maybe on the cover
Comment: I used this book for my high school curiculum and will use the exact same book in my collge calc class. And I have enough experience to say that, although this book seems to be user-friendly, it is by far not. The layout is relatively simple, however is not very in depth. Additionally, this book smashes together several large topics together with very little explanation. This lack of explanation, in turn, makes some of the problems practically impossible due to the fact that you haven't seen any problems like them before. All in all forget this book, and pay attention to your instructor.
Rating: 5
Summary: Student Friendly Text
Comment: This is a great book. It helped me pass my business calculus course.
