Organic Chemistry

So I'm a chemistry major and had to buy this for my classes. So far it's the best chem textbook I've read (and I've read very many). It doesn't oversimplify things which is good, because it makes the topics easy to understand without making me feel like it thinks I've never heard the term "science" before in my life (one of my pet peeves when it comes to textbooks). And it's under $150!!!!! I thought there was a typo when the chemistry department emailed us about the book we'd need. Considering the $386 and change General Chemistry and over $300 General Biology textbooks we science majors had to buy last year, this one is dirt cheap.

I ordered this book because I love spending all of my free time reading about how bonds get hot and steamy in thermodynamic conditions. Just kidding I had to order this for my class obviously. Came on time and in good shape, unlike my ex boyfriend. Only bad thing was that it was incredibly heavy so I mostly left it in my car to which it served virtually no purpose to me because though I have 20/20 vision, I can't read through buildings and through the pages into my car. I would recommend an Ebook. Pages were sturdy and caught most of my tears as I made my way through this subject. All in all, pretty great.

This textbook was very explicit. Love this textbook a lot. I got a B- in Organic Chemistry 2 lecture class because of this book. The solutions manual played a huge role in the success.

I realize that this is a used book for my college student but it's completely falling apart. The spine has separated from the pages. This book should've been retired a long time ago

It was alright don’t think I read more than a few chapters though.

Lot's of detail with all organic chemistry topics covered. I particularly liked the thoughtful explanations of the theory behind the reactions.

There are very few problems on proposing syntheses, predicting major products, or suggesting reagents and these types of problems are typical of any organic chemistry exam. There is also a large focus on quantitative rather than qualitative which is uncesseary.

Important book for a much needed college class!!!!

Matter is appreciable
