I bought the book because they said it was good for writing Lab Reports. But no, I can’t, The book is so incomplete, he wastes space trying to make it funny and humorous. I’m not gonna write his jokes on my report. Yeah and remember if you didn’t copy the whole lab manual on your notebook, you are dumb and you got the highest F.

I had to buy this book for my Organic Class and I hate it! If I am going to pay textbook prices for a book, I expect it to be professionally written, not shifting into first and second person and speaking in sentence fragments. I was supposed to keep it for 2nd semester, but I hated it so much I sold it back after first semester was over. What a waste of money.

book had no highlighting or writing in it. cover was somewhat bent when delivered but not too bad. all in all, a good buy.

The manner in which the text is written is very helpful to those like myself who are new to Organic Chemstry; however, the referals to Chapter… for this and Chapter…for more information on this, makes it difficult to read the actual text sometimes.

Gives concise overview of experiments in easy to digest format (witty but effective). Covers micro and large scale experiments – excellent reference for pre-lab write-ups.
