[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-03-01 Summary: Dr. Carey serves up a smash hit!! ... Everyone in the world of organic chemistry knows of Dr. Carey and the great author and chemist he is. Hardly anyone could compare with the way he slides from subject to subject, explaining in detail and ease subjects that can be rather difficult to grasp. However, his method, because of his complete understanding of the subject matter is amazing. Often I wish I had had him for an instructor for at least one course in organic or any other for that matter. It is his ability to break down difficult concepts, and introduce ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2007-08-25 Summary: Comments on Carey 2007 ... I have been using this book since the first edition, in my postgraduation courses and each time, it is better. The 5th edition introduced aspects that we awere longing for, like, for example, new achievements in the area of aromaticity and improvements in the first chapter. The best improvement was attached to problems solving (despite being not so friendly) and 3D figures. A CD should be added to the next edition. ...more

Organic Chemistry Demystified
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2007-10-30 Summary: Best Bet ... I couldn't figure out which organic chem book was best from the Amazon reviews, so I ventured out to my local Borders bookstore and compared about 6 or 8 of them. "Demystified" was the clear winner thanks to clarity and depth of explanation, chapter tests, a brief review of inorganic, and an engaging style of writing. "Organic for Dummies" was my second choice (seemed insightful) but none of the others held up when checked side-by-side. For instance I checked out 'esters' in all books, and got a short paragraph in ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2007-08-10 Summary: Very good supplement ... Started with another common book as a supplement to my course that simply wasn't cutting it. I picked up this book and it is a very good course supplement! A good breakdown to simply better understand what a standard textbook and the prof is trying to get accross, this book is exactly what you need to make it all make sense. The quizzes are extremely helpful too! ...more
[3] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-05-29 Summary: Seems somewhat shallow ... For its volume, it seems that in many instances the author spends way too much time explaining simple concepts. I still would not want to downplay the value of this book as it might be a good resource for those with basic understanding of chemistry. After all this is the intent of the Demystified series to lay down scientific subjects as simple as possible. For those who are preparing for the MCAT and already have a tangible grasp of the subject, prepare to experience exactly this: the time spent on the book may be ...more
[4] Rating: 4 Date: 2006-09-04 Summary: Valuable ... I found this guide to be a valuable and worthwhile resource on the subject of organic chemistry. I was pleasantly surprised by its appealing and straightforward approach and explanations. The quizzes at the end of each chapter have been very useful to me for checking my comprehension of the material. I recommend this guide to all those interested in a medium to high level overview of the field. ...more
[5] Rating: 4 Date: 2007-05-10 Summary: A condensed version of your textbook. ... This book got me through most of my Organic Chemistry class. We didn't have a textbook, and this book gave me the details the professor didn't have time to go over during class. It also broke all of the subjects down into small sections, so I could look up exactly the reaction we were going over without having to read an entire chapter in the book. However, it didn't make much sense to me unless I read the book with my class notes in front of me. If you're looking for a book that explains things differently than your ...more
