Actually , I m having both the books .. I m agree with indigo… dinesh madan has used live conversational language , and manish valecha ISCA has followed standard language. At CA final level ca students know what words mean so this approach may not be suitable for all. If you do one paragraph from dinesh madan book you would realize that this full para can be presented using in just one line (may be with 2 or more words). This approach may consumes more time and student cannot focus on marks-fetching key points. I consider madan book less suitable for those who have command over language, this is one of the reason why madan sir book is so bulky and not interesting.. In valecha, font size and line spacing is low if you increase the font size its coverage may go beyond madan sir. Valechha is good at language play. You can check this, if you can find this book just read the topic where you have sound knowledge e.g. go to chapter 10 Information Technology Act and see the perfection he has.... all sections in just 10 small pages grouped logically. valecha has simplified and explained full IT Act using standard words to convey special meaning, Also see chapter 4, 5,6 general chapters but valechha has explained these chapters in law-like standard yet simplified language your reading will flow from one topic to another. his coverage is more than what you can feel if you see size of the book. Don’t go by its size just read then say. Valechha’s ISCA contents can be elaborated in exams as per marks because if you know parameters, you can answer questions perfectly in a professional way otherwise your presentation in exam may go clumsy (tactless). Valechha has also given mnemonics / memory codes for easy grasping, when I first studied from this and started topic discussion with my friends my ability to remember all key points amazed them..
If you would like to score high in exam I recommend study material plus valechha isca, because valecha will boost your learning speed. You can cover full study material very easily…
