5.0 out of 5 stars A must for chemist

I am a chemist who has moved to materials engineering and to keep on track with my chemistry I decided to purchase this book, and it is wonderful. Simple and to the point. I just needed something to remind me of concepts I don't use and this book does a pretty good job at explaining things very simple with practical examples.

4.0 out of 5 stars Helpful for second semester organic chemistry

This is a 'bundled' review for three items:

'Organic Chemistry I For Dummies [Paperback]'
'Organic Chemistry I Workbook For Dummies'
'Organic Chemistry II For Dummies'

I read most of the ratings for these, and then purchased them for my daughter for her second semester organic chemistry, since the first semester was such a struggle for her. She says they are helpful, and she also uses them as a reference to get a perspective on a topic that is different than what the professor may have presented in class. I know it was a gamble when I purchased them if she would use them at all, so I was pleased that she does and so it was worth it!
