This is an extremely well done introduction to ochem.I've read a lot of Dummies books, and this is one of the best written. No small feat considering people with PhDs in the hard sciences are challenged to teach at an introductory level.

It's quite simple, so of limited use by the end of the first semester of a 2 semester ochem series. Despite what the title suggests, it's got a brief explanation of the material, and then some questions. It's not strictly a workbook.

I would strongly suggest getting it just before going into ochem to get a brief overview, and by the end of the first semester you'll see where things are heading in the 2nd semester. The practice questions are also good for the level of the book.

Don't expect to get much out of this book if you are at the end of the year and looking for more practice questions. It's too basic for that.

if you are taking organic class and nothing make sence to you, get this book. It helped me a lot to understand the basic thought on Organic Chem. You may still need to read your text book for details specially if your teacher is very much deteil oriented like mine.

This is a 'bundled' review for three items:

'Organic Chemistry I For Dummies [Paperback]'
'Organic Chemistry I Workbook For Dummies'
'Organic Chemistry II For Dummies'

I read most of the ratings for these, and then purchased them for my daughter for her second semester organic chemistry, since the first semester was such a struggle for her. She says they are helpful, and she also uses them as a reference to get a perspective on a topic that is different than what the professor may have presented in class. I know it was a gamble when I purchased them if she would use them at all, so I was pleased that she does and so it was worth it!

This book is worth much more. As long as you have a firm grasp of the basics, you'll be able to navigate more complex and difficult problems. This was my main book for class. I hardly used the ones by Janice G. Smith which are now just sitting around as paperweight. Please make one for OChem II!

Tgis book was a great help... my organic textbook doesnt even give the answers to sample problems. I love he way this book explains step by step how to work them all... LOVE!

This book is good to read in accordance with a text book. I don't recommend just using this book if you want to learn about Organic Chemistry. Some concepts are not explained as well and my need more examples.

Daughter is taking the course this year and I had been advised to buy both 1 and 2 by a previous Bio Major. She has already looked into several chapters before starting class today. GEL PENS ! We both think it will help alot.

really helpful..ordered for my daughter and she said it was much more helpful than the teacher or the text book! Worth the money & a great study guide.

Lots of space for practice, with explanations given as well. The only part that I dislike is how it's arranged; it's difficult to find exactly what you want practice in. However, if you just want a general overview of all the concepts in Organic Chemistry I, then this is a must have.

Lots of problems here to solve. I would use it with Organic Chemistry for Dummies. I never could get the knack of Organic Chemistry, but itwasn't the book's fault. This is actually a helpful book with some good practice problems.
