Easy to read & learn chemistry!

[Joseph Campagna · Rating 4 out of 5]

Excellent introduction to chemistry and some aspects of quantum chem. Do the practice problems then as a follow-up resort to online resources and you should be fine for any academic exams. I kept this book rather than re-selling it because I see a lot of value in its eloquent explanatory power. If chemistry becomes relevant to my life again, I will be sure to resort to this text.

Needed it for class was helpful I suppose, but could probably find most of this information for free on the internet, don't get unless professor requires it.
