  - Completely FantasticThis is hands down the BEST supplemental text I have purchased for any class, let alone OCHEM. It's because of this book that I did well in Organic Chem I, am doing well in Organic Lab, and expect to do well in Organic Chem II. If you get this book and really study it - preferably before the semester starts - it will boost your grade by a full letter. Obviously you have to go to lecture, study the textbook, and attend discussion. It's OCHEM after all. This book won't substitute for the class; none can. But if you add this book to your arsenal you can definitely do well in Organic. Nuts & Bolts will show you how to look at OCHEM in a really conceptual way that will make the entire class less difficult. I actually enjoyed OCHEM after using this book. It can be a neat class and Nuts & Bolts can help with that. Remember - it's all about the nucleophiles and electrophiles! You can nail OCHEM with this book. Rating:  - Great pre-organic book!This book is a good starting point for organic chemistry. It will give you the right way of organic thinking. However,it is not good for exams. You should have it and read it before you orgo class. Rating:  - Very disappointedThis book has obviously been of tremendous help to many readers, but I found myself becoming more confused about Organic Chemistry than when I started reading. I felt overwhelmed by a great deal of information that didn't seem to tie back to the Org class I'm currently taking. Perhaps my learning style is just different from others who posted. Or maybe this is a book that should be read over the summer ahead of the school year, when there's plenty of time to reread sections that the student doesn't understand on the first pass. With a full-blown headache, I'm packing this book up and returning it. The only reason that I didn't go with one star is that Dr. Karty writes well, which is always appreciated. Rating: - Prepare or ReviewGreat for any chemistry student to review gen chem and prepare for Organic. Covers an understanding of operating mechanisms in place of memorizing loads of information. A key to chemistry success. Rating: - Well written, thorough, and perfect for studentsI've read many chemistry texts that were poorly written or lacked foresight when trying to address students' probable questions. This text, surprisingly, did a good job of addressing all my questions as I had them. The author clearly knows his field and at the same time understand where students make mistakes -- and provides answers at the appropriate places. In addition, this text is actually written in a way that is readable. The author presents clear and useful examples. The problems at the end of each chapter provide a good place to try out the concepts introduced in preceding sections. I highly recommend this text for anyone looking to understand organic chemistry instead of just memorizing it. |
