Seems somewhat shallow
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
For its volume, it seems that in many instances the author spends way too much time explaining simple concepts. I still would not want to downplay the value of this book as it might be a good resource for those with basic understanding of chemistry. After all this is the intent of the Demystified series to lay down scientific subjects as simple as possible. For those who are preparing for the MCAT and already have a tangible grasp of the subject, prepare to experience exactly this: the time spent on the book may be felt as spent inefficiently.
Very good supplement
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Started with another common book as a supplement to my course that simply wasn't cutting it. I picked up this book and it is a very good course supplement! A good breakdown to simply better understand what a standard textbook and the prof is trying to get accross, this book is exactly what you need to make it all make sense. The quizzes are extremely helpful too!
A condensed version of your textbook.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This book got me through most of my Organic Chemistry class. We didn't have a textbook, and this book gave me the details the professor didn't have time to go over during class. It also broke all of the subjects down into small sections, so I could look up exactly the reaction we were going over without having to read an entire chapter in the book. However, it didn't make much sense to me unless I read the book with my class notes in front of me. If you're looking for a book that explains things differently than your textbook, this probably isn't it. (For that, I'd recommend Organic Chemistry as a Second Language.) But if you're looking for a textbook replacement or have a professor that tends to jump around chapters, this is what you need.
Valuable
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I found this guide to be a valuable and worthwhile resource on the subject of organic chemistry. I was pleasantly surprised by its appealing and straightforward approach and explanations. The quizzes at the end of each chapter have been very useful to me for checking my comprehension of the material. I recommend this guide to all those interested in a medium to high level overview of the field.
