When learning chemistry for the first time I found this book very useful. It is a great reference tool for anyone learning basic chemistry and a valuable book for students learning chemistry for the first time, or past students that need to revise basic chemistry concepts. If you need an easy to understand basic reference guide to chemistry, this is your book.

This book is great for people who want to learn the basics of chemistry but don't necessarily have a scientific background. It presents material in straightforward, easy to understand ways.

Good for Basics by Bellasnow (Florida, USA)

I usually don't have much of a problem with science and math, but for my first Chemistry class in college I choose to read this as a supplement. The reason being, I have not had a chemistry class in a few years. This is not a book with definitive answers to complex questions, but a useful tool to review basic concepts. Overall, I found it useful and clear, again I used mostly to refresh my memory.

The Best Intro to Chemistry by Ghost (California)

5 Stars
April 14, 2009
Obviously when I bought this book I knew nothing at all about chemistry. And I must say that this book majorly helped me to understand what I had originally assumed was a tough subject to learn. If you're like I was and feel threatened by chemistry, don't worry about it. Believe it or not, chemistry is mainly common sense. Example, if you had two molecules and wanted one of them to hit the other right on a certain spot, you can use a "catalyst" which will hold down one of the molecules so that its other side is showing and available to be hit or bonded, etc. That's a heterogenous catalyst. Still sound complicated? If so don't worry because you get a nice slow introduction before that part. Catalysts aren't even discussed until a third of the way into the book. There's a lot of common sense to the world and the way it operates on an atomic and subatomic level. Although I haven't taken any chemistry courses yet, I have faith that just this book alone will give me an edge over the other students in general chemistry as well as organic chemistry. I'll have to check back then and write a follow-up review, but for now this book is highly recommended.
