Summary: Good for people with no knowledge of Biochemistry
Review: I am currently trying to use this book for a Biochemistry course that I am taking. Considering that I have close to "Zero" knowledge in Chemistry, this is probably the best book that I can use for a variety of reasons (see below)1) Book is in color 2) Although best to study the book chronologically, its not impossible to skip chapters. There is a great Glossary index at the back of the page which has some definitions written into them. Furtheremore definitions seems to be clearly/concisely written throughout the book, very helpful. 3) Examples written throughout the book with soultions. 4) Parargraphs are kept to a minimum so that you wont get too bored reading through the text. I am giving this book a 4, but from my limited experience of looking at chemistry books this is the best one thats out there. It won't be a breeze studing this book, but there are many more books out there which makes the task of studying chemistry a lot harder then it is.

Summary: Makes Complicated Ideas Easy
Review: I checked this book out at my local college and kept renewing it so I could finish more chapters. Finally I ran out of renewing times and decided I really needed to own my own copy. The book is detailed and precise. It is relatively hard yet light on math and what there is is explained well. It has great graphics and clear explanations that make the most advanced topics easy to visualize and understand. The problems at the end of the chapter are great for review. It's the best introductory chem book I've ever seen. Better than any chem course.

Summary: Love this site..
Review: I ordered this book, and it came faster than I expected it too. All and all the service was exceptional. You should purchase it here. I had already purchased this book from our campus bookstore to compare it. It was the same, and the book was in excellent condition. So were all the other textbook that I purchased on here. They came just as described, if not better. And all my books came within 3 days. I will purchase from here again.

Summary: Excellent Text For Allied Health
Review: I used this book for a year-long course in chemistry as a nursing major. It is excellent for the clear and concise way topics are presented. It is also good because it provides numerous practical examples of how chemistry applies to allied health sciences. The section on biochemistry presents difficult topics in an easy fashion. At least one semester of Introductory Chemistry is assumed in order to use this book. An excellent book overall!

Summary: Simple learning for an advanced class
Review: This book is excellent for the Bioorganic chemistry. I went into my class terrified and overwhelmed. I was actually able to follow along better with the book than my actual teacher. The diagrams are clear cut and gives many examples. I love the factual clips in every chapter about nature or medicine and how this all relates to bioorganic chemistry. I found the clips a breather and a break from the complicated matter. This book finds a way to explain one thing in many different ways so that even the beginner can comprehend it at an advanced level. This book got me through the class with an A.
