Helped me survive my chem class!,
I found that this book was much easier to understand than my textbook. It clarified “the big picture” for me while laying out the details as well. There are sample questions for every chapter, and advice on what teachers might ask for quizzes or tests. I bought this halfway through the semester, and it saved my grade! I only wish I had found it sooner.

|Great Review for Chem Finals!,
I just checked this book out from the library, along with two other chem review books, and this is my definite favorite. Even though I would still recommend looking through several study guides, in addition to lectures to study for exams, I just don’t have time to read the textbook, it’s been really helpful, and it is for REVIEW not to learn solely from this text.
It has great review, short and concise descriptions, important concepts/equations/terms and sample problems. I prefer this over cliff notes for chem because all they have are practice problems. And in contrast to what another reviewer says, this isn’t just for chem 101, I am preparing for my final in the second quarter of inorganic chem, it’s perfect, and its got basic organic chemistry too! I’m gonna buy it to review for my PCAT exam next year : )

|A Decent Review — But not for the UTTERLY confused…,
This little review text weighs in just over 350 pages (a little longer than the custom textbook my undergraduate university uses). It does include everything a first year / two-semester chemistry course would cover but it does so in a very superficial manner. It appears that the book is intended for students who are struggling with their lectures and/or reading the major textbook for their course. The problem is that the language in this book is really no different– its just shorter. In fact, I found Silberberg’s Chemistrytextbook to be a little more satisfactory in the explanation department.
If this book were really going to get the “utterly confused” on the right track, it would need to do away with some of the chemistry jargon in favor of everyday language and analogies. For students who are indeed on the right track and want a concise version of a 1000+ page text, this may be the book for you– but you might find it lacking just a bit in depth. The cover is absolutely correct in asserting that this book should be used with CH101, it won’t cut it for anything higher level. For that reason, I’d suggest you take a look at some of the alternatives. Overall: C+
