This review is from: Organic Chemistry With Chemoffice and Infotrac (Hardcover)

Although the book goes into significant detail about mechanisms of reactions, they are sometimes left incomplete, leaving the reader feeling cheated out of information. However if you're just trying to do well in the class, the detail of the book is enough to give a good understanding of organic principles and chemical reactions and is a good tool for an intermediate organic chemistry course. There are worked problems after almost every new concept as well as information about reagents and other laboratory tools. The summaries of new organic reactions at the end of each chapter are a particularly useful study tool. In addition, the CD provides a look at 3D molecular models, often an indespensible part of understanding organic chemistry.
