"Boring subject, boring book"  March 22, 2014

Rating StarRating StarRating StarRating StarRating Star

"This book is really complicated and boring. Organic chemistry is frequently one of the hardest courses college students have to take, and I don't think this book helps with that. The material is dense and could be written better. The text and pictures can be difficult to understand. Sometimes the subject material finally starts to click” when taking orgo 2, but I thought it was especially difficult during the first class. I think there's too much emphasis on memorization instead of actually comprehending the detailed topics. I found synthesis and stereochemistry to be some the most difficult concepts covered. Overall, the book is probably average. It's hard to make organic chemistry really exciting or present it in an innovate, clear manner."

Summary

Master organic chemistry with the help of this proven best-seller! John McMurry's ORGANIC CHEMISTRY is consistently praised as the most clearly written book available for the course. In John McMurry's words: "I wrote this book because I love writing. I get great pleasure and satisfaction from taking a complicated subject, turning it around until I see it clearly from a new angle, and then explaining it in simple words." Through his lucid writing and ability to show the beauty and logic of organic chemistry, McMurry makes learning enjoyable. The highest compliment that can be given to a chemistry book applies to McMurry: It works!
