It tells you exactly what you need to know and is very good about giving the logical reason behind mechanisms. I only wish I had bought this book earlier when I was still studying basic O Chem because it would have helped me build a better foundation. One downfall of this book is that it does not always explicitly show you the curly arrows of mechanisms, and in that sense, you still need a professor to actively show that to you. But otherwise, this is an awesome book which does not put you to sleep and is very effective in presenting the main points of Organic Chemistry. Don´t let the boring cover fool you! This one´s a keeper.. And summed up by saying When Professors and the Textbook fail.... Currently Organic Chemistry has an overall rating of 10 over 10.

Barron´s Educational Series claimed This newest title in Barron´s College Review Series will serve students as a helpful supplement to their main textbook in organic chemistry. It also makes a valuable review book for students who are preparing to take standardized tests that require knowledge of organic chemistry—for instance, the Medical College or Pharmacy College Admission Tests. The author presents a broad overview of subject material, defines key terms, and summarizes organic chemisty reactions and reaction mechanisms.
