Summary: Organic Chemistry for Dummies
Comment: Considering Organic Chemistry is probably one of the toughest subjects to dumb down, this book does an awesome job at it! I really found it to be very helpful when I needed additional help over something my professor hadn't cleared up so well in lecture. I have recommended this book to many of my fellow classmates and will continue to do so.
Customer Rating:





Summary: Pretty Good
Comment: This book does simplify some important concepts in Organic Chemistry, but it does not cover everything you may need. For example, when naming compounds, the book explains in detail how to name skeletal structures, but it left out some important rules for naming cyclic compounds. It will not clarify everything, but it should still help if you are lost.
Customer Rating:





Summary: Not a help
Comment: I bought this book thinking it might be helpful over the course of my Orgo I class, however, this book turned out to be way tooooo Basic to be of any help at all. I also thought that the order and ways which the reactions and concepts were not done well at all. Poor coverage of electrophilic addition.

Summary: Great for College Students
Comment: This book is great if you are a pre-professional health science major and need to learn the inner workings of Organic Chemistry. It gives you some insight before you take the class on how to succeed in studying in it, so you can make that "A" that your admissions board will be proud to see on your transcript. I highly recommend it.
