Now that my semester is over, I'll be glad to put this book aside. Of my three main textbooks (Physics, Chemistry and Biology) this one was sort of the middle one. I didn't hate it. I didn't love it. I didn't use it to study ahead, but I did use it to review for exams.
It could definitely be better written... the format for one is just confusing and it's hard to get a straight up overview of a topic, but in general it's a pretty decent book. I might use it in the future to look things up in again (i.e. reference book) but probably not unless I have no internet.
