Rating: - Chemistry: the Central Science
An excellent book. I'm tutoring a college student who is taking this course using the 10th edition. I have a few minor beefs with the book, but in general is one of the best. The example problems are well done and well choosen. That is a great help to students.

It was everything it should have been. The price was right, the delivery time was prompt, and the quality of the book was as good as any book stores. I will definatly be back for more.

I didn't really read the thing, so I can't give a proper review, but I don't ever remember it being of any help during my chem class. I received a D, so, obviously, it wasn't that good. I'm retaking chem, though, maybe it'll make more since the 2nd time around and I can change this review.

Rating: - Fantastic textbook
I used this textbook for my AP (high school but college-level) Chemistry course, and found it to be delightfully clear and simple reading. Everything is explained to be perfectly understandable, and after simply reading the book through and doing the exercise problems (as assigned by my teacher), I found the actual AP exam to be literally one of the easiest tests I have ever taken in my life.

Actually, in fact, I barely paid any attention in class; I simply read this book and paid half ... Read More

Rating: - The best.

I thank you and your team for writing an awesome book that students can understand. I will definitely recommend this book, and I actually want to convince the chemistry dept. at my school to change their textbook ;) Simply the best, thanks!

edit: I have been reading many of the comments left by other users saying this book is not for beginners ... Read More
