Riddled with errors that actually teach the wrong material, but if you are made aware of these and avoid them then the book is fine.

Clear descriptions and mechanisms (multi-coloured) help with studying.
Recommended over my other Organic textbook (which sucks big ones).

This textbook was an amazing follow up read to a honors chemistry textbook such as Chemistry by Stephen Zumdahl. With that context in mind, I really loved reading this textbook and thoroughly exploring the complex subject of organic chemistry. The book covers everything from the basics of organic chemistry to the most complicated, intricate topics such as the biological applications of such organic chemistry. The book includes diagrams, charts, tables, is arranged in an aesthetically pleasing way, and the writing style is fluid and relatively to read. Being easy to read was a huge plus for this textbook; being interested in the material is not easy if it is a struggle to read the text. Having said this, the only complaint I have with this textbook is that it does require quite a lot of previous knowledge. This makes sense, as the subject is an advanced level of chemistry, but it does make this book not suitable for most people.

Im good at Chem, but I just hate it so much, I didn't work at my ap chemistry course for a whole semester and bought this book to study a week before the test and I got an awesome grade, it focuses more on different types of reactions and it's not that dense.

it's better to actually read than to carry all over campus for a year and counting...
