I have previously read Hal Varian's Intermediate Microeconomics textbook, which I found to be incredibly boring. By comparison, I find Robert Frank's Microeconomics and Behavior to be much easier and more fun to read.This intermediate microeconomics textbook by Robert Frank doesn't have as much breadth as Varian's text, but it spends more time on each topic which makes concepts easier to remember. After reading Varian's textbook, I felt I had covered lots of material, but remembered little of it. With Frank's book, each topic becomes clear and distinct in my head because Frank spends more time to explain concepts clearly.This book also has real-world examples of concepts in the "Economic Naturalist" sections, which is something missing from Varian's text. I strongly recommend this book.
My intermediate economics class used this as a textbook and I thoroughly enjoyed the textbook. It gave a clear presentation of the material and the examples significantly helped my understanding of the material. My only issue with it is that I feel that it wasn't rigorous enough for an intermediate class but for some it could be a worthwhile trade off for an excellent textbook.
works great
As expected
This textbook is a rental and serve's it's purpose well.
