I'm not a fan of Chemistry, but I found this textbook to be written in a way that made the concepts easier for me to understand. Therefore, I give it three stars even though I didn't enjoy reading it.
It’s readable enough, but if you’ve got the time, I’d suggest reading something like Organic Chemistry as a Second Language for that part of the course.
Just had to add this book to my current list since it is currently taking my every spare moment. I'm sure it is a fine textbook, but it is not my favorite subject. I'm looking forward to putting this subject past me! 4 more weeks!
worst textbook ever. riddled with typos and errors. distracting layout. not helpful in the least. thankful for a professor who can teach because this book is rubbish.
By "finished", I mean that I got through the first 9 chapters, the class ended, and I'm free! It was a great resource when I couldn't understand my professor.
I especially enjoyed the study guide that accompanies this book. The content of this subject matter is like trying to piece together and take apart a puzzle.
