Probably the worst textbook I have ever read for school. The 'author' does a terrible job at explaining core concepts. In addition, his videos (that I had to pay like $80 for school) are insufferably annoying to sit through, as he just reads a script and doesn't speak naturally. I found myself wondering if the 'author' even knew what he was doing. The homework was near next to impossible to make 100s on (i.e., the system glitches every two seconds). Avoid reading this trash and actually go pick up a useful textbook on organic chemistry.
