Title: You actually learn organic chemistry, not just memorize it.
Review: We used this book in an organic chemistry class which I was taking as a refresher. I found it to be very readable and well illustrated. The emphasis on mechanisms over just straight memorization of reactions resulted in my having a better understanding of the hows and whys of organic chemistry and, I believe, greatly improved my placement exam scores when I went to graduate school.
