2.0 out of 5 stars Watch out for mistakes., July 24, 2008

This review is from: Chemistry Super Review (Paperback)

There are mistakes in this book. On page 34 the author refers to the "nucleus" of an electron??? What?? The lewis dot structure for calcium isn't Ca . it's Ca.. The writing is also somewhat pedantic. The language of Chemistry is confusing enough; straight talk with attention to detail is best.

2.0 out of 5 stars Difficult to follow, June 1, 2010

This review is from: Chemistry Super Review (Paperback)

I purchased this book as a Chemistry review for an entrance exam. It has been many years since I've taken Chemistry and needed a quick refresher so I could pass this section on my test. I find the book very hard to follow, and does not explain formula calculations as in depth as I would expect. There are many times where I catch myself staring at the problem solution and have to back track to understand how they came up with their answer. The definitions are over-worded and hard to understand. I've had to get online and look up definitions for the laws over and over again because the way they word them, they just don't make sense. Maybe I am under-qualified for this book, but I would think a review book should be broken down in an easier format. I wouldn't waste your time on this book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Full of errors; poorly presented., April 13, 2009

Don't waste your money. I have the Super Reviews on Chemistry and Physics; both are wrought with error and have a format that is difficult to follow. They appear to be cranked out by some sort of word processor ill-fitted to professional publishing. My suggestion is to go with Cliffs Notes or the "Teach Yourself Books" series.
