The Only Reason I'm Passing Chemistry.. October 7, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This books picks up where my poorly written/edited text leaves off. In clear, concise language this book explains concepts that I always assumed were over my head. It's really easy to find any concept you need help with too. Because of this book, I can actually accomplish a feat I've attempted many times over the years -- pass Chemistry in order to start nursing school. Believe it or not, I am getting an A so far.
This book is tremendous and I've recommended it to so many people in my Chem class. You will not regret this purchase.
Excellent and easier to follow than most chemistry books September 15, 2006

I really LOVE this book for introductory/first-year chemistry. It really explains things well and gives you a good mix of reading and exercises. (The exercises and reading are spaced closer together, not big blocks of reading followed by big blocks of exercises that you see too commonly in other study guides.) This makes it so much easier to reinforce your learning, as well as the writing style which is very clear. There are plenty of exercises to apply what you learn, and there is just enough reinforcement in concepts as you progress through the book without being repetitive.
Chemistry is not an easy subject to learn, and there is no "magic" book out there that will "download" its information directly to your brain--you will always have to apply yourself. But this book makes it SO much less frustrating. It is a good supplement to your school textbook, but you could learn a good deal without other sources (but I don't recommend this if you are taking a class-buy this as well as the required textbook, and go the the lectures.)
 Never received the book. Thanks Katrina! September 26, 2005

I'm sure this book would rate at least 4 stars based on the other CliffsStudySolver books I own. The order was "undeliverable" and was returned to Amazon because my area was one that got hit hard by hurricane Katrina . Much to my surprise not only did Amazon refund the price of the book, but they also refunded all shipping costs including handling fees without me sending any emails or making any phone calls or having to argue with stupid sales reps in other parts of the country who refuse to have a clue as to what people in this area have been through. Talk about service! Thanks very much to Amazon for being so understanding about our situation here in south eastern Louisiana. Amazon has been more understanding than a lot of large local business entities in my area. I will always continue to do business with Amazon.com without hesitation whatsoever.
