Review: Great textbook for Beginners in Organic Chemistry or anyone in need of a good foundation. - I am a college student about to start my second year of B.A. in Biological Sciences and purchased this book to read over the summer because I am going to take about a year of Organic Chemistry. The book's Organic Chemistry Chapters actually start at Chapter 12, so the ENTIRE book is not Orgo chem. However, the first half of the book is basic General Chemistry needed to understand Orgo and more, so it served as a nice reference material in case I forgot anything or if I wanted to revisit any past material that I kind of forgot. As for the Orgo Chapters, which I truly read and worked out, they were interesting to read, simple to understand and provided enough basis that I have a substantial foundation for organic Chemistry. It's a perfect, "Intro to Organic Chem" type of book. The book also includes tons of medical and biological applications and examples, making it more interesting and informative to read. Be warned however, if you are taking higher level Organic Chem other than the intro, like I will have to later, this book might not go into enough depth. This book is great if : a) you want to a good foundation for organic chemistry b) learn some applications or c) quickly review or reference anything you forgot.
Review: Good! - I know how we all feel about chemistry! Let me tell you chemistry is challenging and this book right here is going to be your bestfriend! Trust me when I say it soo most defensively get it! I’d recommend buying it so you can write in it! Science books like these are something you want to hold onto for life just incase!

*by M***O on October 1, 2017*

At first I was worried that this book was going to be different than what I needed for my college chemistry classroom, but I was thrilled to find out it was exactly what I needed. It was brand new and at a more affordable cost than what I was being offered at my school. I was thrilled when I got it because I was able to et to studying right away.
