CliffsQuickReview Chemistry

ClifsQuickReview Chemistry offers succinct summaries of fundamentals of chemistry. It covers the basic principles, defines terms and laws, and would be useful for a beginning hobbyist, I suppose. However, high school chemistry also involves a lot of math, naming ionic/covalent compounds, and predicting products, which this book says nothing about. I am a high school sophomore and so far, I have not found this book to be very helpful as a supplement.

Friggin' Incredible.

This book got me through a very grueling high school chem class. It is very easy to understand. I can't put my finger on it, but something about the way this book is written just makes understanding come naturally for me.

Hope it does the same for you. A great value. Your grade depends on it!

Great resource!

This book is very helpful for people trying to grasp the basics of chemistry. I'm one who really loves science, but I get a little bogged down in the details and calculations involved, so this book helped me get through the tough math. To me it reads like a textbook, only it cuts out all the filler, so it's very easy to find what I'm looking for, and the descriptions are clean and to the point.

Chemisty Cliff's notes

This book is a great SUPPLEMENT to a intro chemistry course, it is not a repleacement for instruction. i found this book to be a very good resource for quick reference. I am a little biased though, since one of the authors was one of my college professors.

DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK

If your confused about chemistry do not get this book. The chapters do not provide enough explanation for the problems, and the examples are different and simpler than the problems it didnt help.
