good book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I had to get this book for my Organic class and was pleasantly surprised by the ease of reading. For a science book it flows wells and is easy to understand.
for a chemistry book, it's pretty decent

I'm not a big fan of chemistry or anything, but this was actually a pretty useful book. It is easy to read, has lots of examples, and systematically goes through each type of organic molecule you might encounter and tells you how to recognize one, name it, what it's chemical properties are, some info about where they are found and how they're used, and how they are made, broken down, and how they react with other compounds. One thing that is lacking is how a lot of the chemistry actually works sometimes. They might just show the reactants and the products and expect you to memorize it, rather than learning the process behind it. But, I guess that's part of the limitations of it being a 'short course'.....
serious one-semester O-chem text
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
This textbook is suitable to be used in a serious one-semester introductory organic chemistry course. Its explanations of concepts are generally clear. It is too tough to be used a GOB text unless you omit 50% of the materials.
