Title: Not clear enough
Product review: This book was used in my freshman college chem class. Everyone hated it, including our instructor. I found myself doing a lot of independent study this year, because my instructor was often incomprehensible, and unfortunately, this book most often was just not thorough enough when it came to explanations. Usually, the problems that were explained stepwise, were very simple, so harder problems were difficult to figure out by myself. I am a straight A student, and a pre-med bio major, so I don't consider myself completely stupid, but this book sometimes made me feel as though I was reading a foreign language. Maybe having a better instructor would have made a difference, but since I had to pretty much cover 75% of the course on my own, I had real difficulty understanding the text. On the plus side, the text does cover all the topics required in a college level chemistry course for biology majors.
