Merrill Chemistry

Summary: very thorough chem book...
Review: Our school recently upgraded to this chemistry book for the honors level. personally, i like it a lot. all the math examples have clear instructions, and the pictures really helped. a few chapters were a bit fuzzy, but more intense topics (ie, subatomic particles & thermo) made up for any lack of information. ... . i would definitely recommend purchasing a SAT II review book, as it contains valuable information that goes along nicely with the book itself. the book covers nearly everything one would find in a college-prep chemistry course, so i would definitely recommend taking the SAT II in may.

Summary: as interesting as a chemistry book can get...
Review: Well, I can honestly say that I haven't enjoyed this book much. After all, who would want to wake up at 5:30 in the morning, drive 1/2 an hour to school, just to make it to an Honors Chemisty class using this book? But overall, the book is pretty nice...I've gotten numerous paper cuts from the edges of the paper, and it sure does weigh a lot for its size...
