I have used this book in replacement of my organic chemistry class book. It's much more clear and easy to learn. However, it would be nice if the book and answer book was not so expensive but it's worth to me.

I read this book for my first organic chemistry course.I found it very helpful and i still refere to it at times.I specially find the chapeter about SN1 and SN2 reactions very useful because i tried couple of the other books before reading this one.

Kudos to Professor Carey on a job well done! I have used the text for a semester and must say that it is a clear, well-written book. Difficult concepts are simplified; this text is definitely a must-read!

I've used the 2nd edition for a semester now and am continuing to use it. I've found that it is more than adequate, and I feel that the 3rd edition really wouldn't help me to learn Organic Chemistry any better. The two texts are so similar that one can find a vast majority of the same homework problems in both editions, although it is a bit laborious. For the difference in cost, I'd say the effort is certainly worth it.

This is an excellent organic chemistry text. Clear and well writen, it is a valuable source for the beginer or the more advanced student. While a bit expensive, it provides a wealth of information.
