2.0 out of 5 stars An overall Disappointment, March 14, 2006
This book was largely a disappointment. I had heard previously that this was the leading high school text that is used and had high expectations. I was disappointed to find a plethora of type errors (including math mistakes!) and also very poor descriptions of things like bonding theory, equilibrium constants, reaction rates etc. The book covers a lot but fails to get real advanced in much of anything. I would reccomend for the advanced high school student a college level text with a good teacher instead of wasting your time on this.

2.0 out of 5 stars My highschool textbook, September 16, 2008
This book is a good study aid if you have a good instructor. However, depending on this book to teach you chemistry may become a little confusing (as my high school teacher is currently doing). I noticed that it's not very straightforward. Say you were learning about radiation - the types of radiation and how decay occurs. The text itself won't tell you exactly how the mass or atomic number changes after a certain radioactive decay. Rather, it provides you with assessment questions at the end of each section with direct questions about number changes, making it so that you would have to figure out from the extensive number of examples what the answer is. This textbook's method of teaching is making the reader infer, which is great for literature, but certainly not for textbooks. I recommend something that is more concise and straightforward: The Complete Idiot's Guide to Chemistry, 2nd Edition (Complete Idiot's Guide to). What takes 3 pages to explain in the textbook is explained in 3 paragraphs in this guide.

2.0 out of 5 stars detailed, but not reader friendly, July 22, 2009
By 
this book contains all the necessary information, but the way its written leaves much to be desired. if you're trying to learn for yourself expect to read each paragraph at least twice before grasping the idea. also it fails to simply walk the reader through chemistry equations (molarity, molality, ect.)
