Well, it's more readable than Mankiw, but how damningly faint is that praise? Less technical too, which is not terribly useful, actually.

Krugman/Wells takes a story-driven approach that focuses on real-world economics at work. The book offers the hallmark clarity and engaging writing style that distinguish Paul Krugman's work, from his best-selling international economics text to his New York Times best-sellers.

Krugman is a bit too liberal for my taste, but he did at least TRY to make it centrist sometimes.

A better than average textbook from the great Paul Krugman.

I don't know if it's the end-of-the-school-year burnout, the things going on in my life, or if macroeconomics is just simply not as interesting as microeconomics, but it was hard to get to the ending of this book. I really loved Microeconomics by the same authors, but maybe an entire year of economics has effected my opinion of this Macroeconomics textbook.
I will make one note that the first 5 or 6 chapters of Macroeconomics were word-for-word the same as chapters that were found in the Microeconomics textbook that Paul Krugman and Robin Wells wrote, so be warned about that. I think there should be a discount for buying both, since portions of the books contain the same material.
If you're reading this for fun (which you most likely aren't, lol) I recommend Microeconomics by Krugman and Wells over this Macroeconomics book.

Macro will by far be the hardest course I've ever taken. Reading this entire textbook has got to count for something if not my grade...
