Provides a basic introduction to frontier orbital theory with a review of its applications in organic chemistry. Assuming the reader is familiar with the concept of molecular orbital as a linear combination of atomic orbitals the book is presented in a simple style, without mathematics making it accessible to readers of all levels.
For any chemistry major I cannot recommend this book enough. It is one of the musts to really understanding organic chemistry... and compared to the textbooks the exercises are... dare I say fun?

I found the book very infomative on molecular orbitals of the organic molecules. It will help me pass the proficiency test in my doctorate education.
Great!

Excellent book - I used this with Carey and Sunberg's book Part A and it correlated well.

Provides an outstanding introduction to the concepts of molecular orbital interaction in organic chemistry. Presents the topic such that an organic chemist without a strong background in group theory or math can still follow the discussion.
A classic!!!!
