I made A's in both general chemistry classes, but I was terrified of Organic Chemistry because I was told so many times that it is a very difficult class. You must learn the material as you go because each new topic adds to the last. For me, just memorizing the material doesn't work. If I can't understand it, I can't memorize it! I am an older, non-traditional student and I have found this book to be a sanity saver! I use this book first to understand the material, then my textbook second. The information is complete and is easily understood. The pressure seems to be on authors to create a textbook that adds mystery to the subject and weighs no less than 20 pounds - full of superfluous information. This fits in my purse and I can study even a few pages at a time when I have a few minutes. The exercises are appropriate to practice what I am given as textbook assignment questions. I started in the summer before class began and worked my way through the first 5 chapters. What a relief to get to class and actually understand the material we are discussing. I love this book! It has me hooked on organic chemistry - and I understand it!! It is so worth the price!! I certainly plan on ordering the Klein second semester topics as well.

THANK YOU DAVID KLEIN! I just took Organic Chemistry I this spring semester. I was failing my class with a 60 something. I received this book two weeks before my comprehensive final and made a B on it, therefore a B in the class (that's how my professor graded his class). Needless to say, this book was a LIFESAVER! This book is small, easily lies open, pages aren't too glossy (making pencil marks easy to erase), answers to every question in the back. My text book is also by David Klein, but I just couldn't get the material down reading from the text book. {This book takes every little thing step by step and has you practice each skill before you move on} (my kind of learning!). In roughly 10 days with this book I read every page and did every exercise until the last two chapters, which I skimmed and focused more time on the exercises. I wish I would have discovered this book before my first exam, because I know I would've been able to earn an A in the class. IF YOU ARE LOOKING AT THIS BOOK, GO AHEAD AND BUY IT! YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!
