Rating:  - Organic Chemistry I
This is a great book. We have an organic course for high school juniors and seniors at Columbus High, Columbus, GA, one of two such classes in the state of Georgia.
This is our book along with Organic Chemistry for Dummies. Together, they may an acceptionable pair.
Rating: - Fenomenal
I read this book after taking a year of basic high school chemistry. Klein does a fantastic job in the first 228 or so pages of explaining resonance, geometry, nomenclature, conformations, configurations, and introducing mechanisms. From these pages alone, I learned a lot more than I have ever learned about chemistry. Klein does a terrific job of explaining why, with plenty of analogies that doesn't involve chemistry. Plenty of problems are included for each topic, as well as answer keys. Seemingly, ... Read More

Rating: - Great companion workbook
I'm one of the lucky few who are able to have Dr. Klein as a professor. He requires the OSL books in his course -- and for good reason; they are infinitely easier to understand than standard textbooks, give lots of practice problems, and really help you understand the material. Of course it helps that Dr. Klein teaches the class in the same way that he wrote the book, but I would recommend this to any Orgo student.
However, don't expect to sell this book to someone else -- it's really a workbook, ... Read More
