Good resource. I found all exercises at a good level of difficulty. I would like this book included something about adjusting entries to intangible assets.

I took this course after the intro double-entry and found that this really reinforced what I had learned as well as gave me the necessary skills to conduct year-end posting. This book does not cover closing entries, however it does do a good job introducing financial statements.
