Buy used from: $50.00
Easy and fun to read and comprehend. The author really laid out the materials well. I didn't read all of the book. But the parts I've read are really well written. And it's also got good reminders, tips and etc especially for orgo chem beginners. I read the part on substitution and elimination. I completely understood it and am not confused at all.

Used this during my first and second year as a course text book. It's enough for the first year course. It's easy to read and comprehend for beginners. But it lacks details for more advanced classes and I discovered some minor mistakes in some parts during my second year. But it's still worth it if your a beginner to bio.

A textbook for first year general chem. I bought it and discovered it not a very good read. Explanations are unclear and is not helpful. I ended up borrowing another chemistry book from the library. What a waste of money.
