- General Chemisty as a second language
This book shows most of the principles you'll find in your Gen CHEM I course and helps to explain their relevancy to the GEN CHEM I course. Stongly suggest outlining this guide in accordance to whatever text book you'll be using in your course so you wont be studying non-relevant items. Overall this book will help you by giving you a second perspective as to what you are studying.
Would I buy it again? No, my text book was pretty thorough without it. I gave it to a friend that loves it.

- Outstanding explainations and worked problems.
This is a wonderful introduction to Organic Chemistry. Klein explains things in a way that can be understood quickly and offers many problems with the solutions available. GREAT!

The reason it gets only 4 stars is after Section 8.8, there are lots and lots of pages (basically blank) with instructions to look in your text book and fill these in. Or to fill them in with notes from class.

- very helpful
This book was very helpful in explaining Gen Chem 1. This guy has a way of making chemistry understandable. I was having a hard time grasping the concepts. With the help of this book I was finally able to understand. I recommend this book to people who are having problems understanding key concepts. I only wish there was one for Gen Chem 2.

- You need this book!
This book helped me get an A in Chem I. Period. Sure, my text was better than most and my professor was MUCH better than most...but every text will have shortcomings. And most professors aren't that helpful. Let's face it - most don't even care. So, THANK YOU David Klein for lending your expertise to those future professionals who would suffer through Chem I unnecessarily without your help. Do yourself a favor & invest the $20 or so that this book will cost you. Warning: Though you will ... Read More

- Great Help
This book was a great help for me. It is written in completely unassuming language, and does a great job of explaining the concepts. Gives examples very much like what I saw in my textbook. Definitely worth buying!
