Summary: Organic Chemistry: Morrison and Boyd
Review: I am a practicing physician now and have been for almost 20 years. I used one of the earlier editions of this wonderful text book while attending LSU in Baton Rouge, La.
Althought I majored in Zoology with a minor in Chemistry, my natural intimidation of chemistry made me "fear" my first encounter with Organic Chemistry.
At LSU we used Morrison and Boyd. This text and the way it is written made the experience most enjoyable. It is concise and very well written with emphasis made easily on key issues that build step by step a strong platform from which to learn organic chemistry.
My niece is now at Duke University in Pre-Med, and reminded me s of my nervousness as the time approaches for her to tackle this subject. Although her university does not apparently use this text ,I highly recommended this text to her as a wonderful companion to whatever text her university used. I whole-heartedly recommend this text for anyone about to face this wonderful subject and want to easily understand some complex principles.

Summary: Quite excellent, I loved this one
Review: I am not a Chemistry major, however I found Morrison & Boyd interesting. I used this book in high school for about 50% percent of the Chemistry syllabus in high school related to organic chemistry. The style of the authors was refreshing, and I found it easy to read large sections in short periods. I also found it easy to recall a lot of points as the book was written in such a way as to lead you from one point to the other, which style is the best for organic chemistry.

Again, I used this book for a chemistry course in my freshman year, and I did not regret the decision. A wonderful book, it is a phenomenon in publishing.
