This was the assigned reading for my first year at uni studying micro- and macroeconomics and now that I've finished my first year I can say that the book was worth the hefty amount of money I had to pay for it. It is well-written and well-structured with plenty of diagrams and pictures illustrating the concepts they try to explain. Every chapter starts with a story that shows how the topic of the chapter can be applied to the real world. The authors will often refer to these stories throughout the chapter, which I found great. Another bonus, apart from the amazingly structured chapters, is the end section of each chapter with a challenging problem set. Unfortunately, the solutions to the questions re not readily available, but they are available to the lecturers so... Anyways, well worth the investment. The e-source is really good too and can be used as a substitute for the physical book as it contains everything in the book and a little more (mainly a revision tool).
