 Very Good For Class October 24, 2009
Shatzi Crabtree (NC)
Although I received As in chemistry, I never got the hack of organic chemistry. My professor was very good, the text was good, but somehow I missed something. This book did help though, I will say. I understood a few more things better after this. The book is very good if you need a refresher.

Ok, let's examine the title of the book, The COMPLETE IDIOT'S GUIDE to Organic Chemistry. Well, you guessed it, I am a complete idiot when it comes to chemistry period! I took org I, decided to hold off on org II cuz I hated org I so much, and picked this book up two weeks before I took org II. The way the book is written tops--as far as explanations go--reading any ole boring textbook; however, it does not exactly replace your textbook or your prof's notes. It gave me a great summary of all the high points in org I that didn't sink in when I took it as well as what to expect in org II. The author explained basic concepts much better than any other chem teacher I've had in college, and for the record, that would be 5. I would definitely get this book if you are needing to brush up on some stuff, or if your textbook/teacher is doing a crappy job at helping you understand some basic concepts.

This volume was, for me, an excellent review of information I was first exposed to many years ago in college. The text and graphics are clear and easily understandable. As a practicing physician, I found this review an excellent vehicle for enhancing understanding of the actions of medications (almost all organic compounds) on receptors and other proteins in the human body (also organic compounds).
