This is a great book for learning basic chemistry. It's witty and easy to understand, even for those with no previous chemistry experience. If you're looking for a simple chemistry book, look no further, this is it.

Like most of the for dummies series, its a good suplement, but if this is all you have to work from, then you are completly doomed. i caught at least one error (where the author indicated the reaction was going to involve KI but instead involved NaI) and I'm sure that if I caught one there were likely others. A lot of the material really was a waste of my time, which was understandable, as the author couldn't possibly know what areas of o-chem II my profesor would want us to concentrate on. show more Not really enough humor either. That all said, it was a good suplement in that it did help connect some of the dots to help a student better understand the wicked evil that is o-chem II. show less

No reviews??? Currently reading, but the first chapter or two were very good as a biology review of the cell. Maybe its just the dummy in me talking, but i like the pictures.

Unsuitable for a mature intelligence. There is a horrible absence of numeric chemistry books suitable for adults. There are only textbooks and intelligent, non-numeric books.
