Editorial Review:There’s no easier, faster, or more practical way to learn the really tough subjects
Organic Chemistry Demystified follows the organization of standard organic chemistry courses and can also be used as a study guide for the MCAT (Medical College Admission Test) and DAT (Dental Admissions Testing) exams. This self-teaching guide comes complete with key points, background information, quizzes at the end of each chapter, and even a final exam. Simple enough for beginners but challenging enough for advanced students, this is a lively and entertaining brush-up, introductory text, or classroom supplement.

Average Rating: 
Rating: - Seems somewhat shallow
For its volume, it seems that in many instances the author spends way too much time explaining simple concepts. I still would not want to downplay the value of this book as it might be a good resource for those with basic understanding of chemistry. After all this is the intent of the Demystified series to lay down scientific subjects as simple as possible. For those who are preparing for the MCAT and already have a tangible grasp of the subject, prepare to experience exactly this: the time spent ... Read More
Rating:  - Best Bet
I couldn't figure out which organic chem book was best from the Amazon reviews, so I ventured out to my local Borders bookstore and compared about 6 or 8 of them. "Demystified" was the clear winner thanks to clarity and depth of explanation, chapter tests, a brief review of inorganic, and an engaging style of writing. "Organic for Dummies" was my second choice (seemed insightful) but none of the others held up when checked side-by-side. For instance I checked out 'esters' in all books, and got ... Read More
Rating: - Very good supplement
Started with another common book as a supplement to my course that simply wasn't cutting it. I picked up this book and it is a very good course supplement! A good breakdown to simply better understand what a standard textbook and the prof is trying to get accross, this book is exactly what you need to make it all make sense. The quizzes are extremely helpful too!
Rating: - A condensed version of your textbook.
This book got me through most of my Organic Chemistry class. We didn't have a textbook, and this book gave me the details the professor didn't have time to go over during class. It also broke all of the subjects down into small sections, so I could look up exactly the reaction we were going over without having to read an entire chapter in the book.
However, it didn't make much sense to me unless I read the book with my class notes in front of me. If you're looking for a book that explains ... Read More
Rating: - Valuable
I found this guide to be a valuable and worthwhile resource on the subject of organic chemistry. I was pleasantly surprised by its appealing and straightforward approach and explanations. The quizzes at the end of each chapter have been very useful to me for checking my comprehension of the material. I recommend this guide to all those interested in a medium to high level overview of the field.
