2.0 out of 5 stars Not very good, July 26 2010

This review is from: Organic Chemistry II For Dummies (Paperback)
Not very impressed with this book. I'm taking organic 2 in the summer so I was excited that I would have this book to go along with the class. It is not as good as the first organic for dummies book. The author's don't use helpful analogies to help you remember things like the organic 1 for dummies author did. Some of the concepts are still very difficult to understand. I wish they "dumbed" it down a little more.

This review is from: Organic Chemistry II For Dummies (Paperback)
Although this was a great book that quickly summarizes detailed and complex topics of organic chemistry; there is at a least one error that can really lead the reader astray. My example is the definition of aromatic compounds. The book states that cyclooctatetraene is an anti-aromatic compound. However, this is only true if cyclooctatetraene is planar. Unfortunately, cyclooctatetraene can shift out of plane thus making it non-aromatic. This little error isn't too bad but it can screw you over on a test. In summary, I believe this book is helpful in COMPLEMENTING your primary textbook.

4.0 out of 5 stars Helpful for second semester organic chemistry, April 3 2011

This review is from: Organic Chemistry II For Dummies (Paperback)
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!
