[Anna Gallina · Rating 2 out of 5]

useful, but it didn’t explain a bunch of things like the schrödinger equation very profusely

[Euisry Noor · Rating 3 out of 5]

Disappointed with the Indonesian translation edition, I decided to read the original book. This is the textbook used in my Chemical Structure & Bonding class.

[Georgeos Hardo · Rating 5 out of 5]

Yes. I read the entire book. It was actually good.
