Summary: DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK!
Comment: the reason why i tell you not to buy this book is quite simple...it is big...it is bulky...and it is heavy, this is no exageration also if you want to look something up it goes into so much detail you wish you never even took the course.
trust me do not buy this i got it from the school and they are bringing them back in because they are now getting edexcel approved ones!
i promise you this:
if your a parent your child will never stop asking you questions because they cant be bothered to read it all
if your a pupil look for something to do with cgp or something i am not advertising just stating the truth.
i wouldnt buy this for a penny...mind you the way the currency is going that is quite insulting...
do not get promise you will not like it, its not fun or entertaining to get you to continue reading.

Summary: A brilliant book for all chemistry lovers
Comment: A must-buy book for all those interested in chemistry at A level. Excellently presented, with good use of colour, and superb detail brings life to the subject. Very good selection of exam practice questions (not all answers are included). Makes the transition from GCSE easy. A book to be read through rather than dipped into, and which focuses on understanding concepts and ideas rather than just learning facts.

Summary: The Perspective of an AS Level student
Comment: The book came yesterday, there are good points and bad points about the book.
Pros:
- Healthy attention to detail
- Often explains details rather than bombarding the reader with facts
- Has EVERYTHING you will need for AS and A Level Chemistry
- Due to the explaining nature of the book, loss of interest is rare
- Has some questions in little boxes to make sure you are paying attention.
Cons:
- Very Big and bulky, may put off some readers (the cover page has a marble like background and the book is around 3cm thick effectively making it a slab)
- Perhaps too much detail, if you are for a particular exam board make sure you read only what you need to read
- Maybe a little out-dated, the pictures look old as does the text.
My advise is to get an Exam board specialised book (i have a thin Edexcel one) try getting one that is straight to the point and maybe lacking some detail. You can then use both books in duo by flicking through what you already understand (exam board book)and to look up what you dont (Chemistry in Context). Simple.
EDIT: its been a few weeks and the book is very unappealing i find that i look through all my other books even the internet before looking through Chemistry in Context. This is probably because it takes a long time to find anything. unless your the type who would not understand an entire topic the book is little more than useless.

Summary: a wonderful book
Comment: I ordered this book because it can help my son with his International Baccalaureate chemistry course. Once it arrived, however, I started reading it myself because the illustrations are so well done and interesting, and the text is written in a clear and accessible style. I regret now that I am coming to the end of the book. I studied chemistry 30 years ago, but never really understood it fully. Reading Chemistry in Context has been a great pleasure for me. Anyone interested in chemistry should be able to take it on.

Summary: Excellent book for a excellent grade!
Comment: My first impression of this book was that it was very daunting. At a glance the several hundred paged book looks like a weight to add to the burden of sixth form study. On the other hand, the first time I used it lifted the weight off the coursework which I had to write up for the next two weeks. Informative and very well detailed this book helped me in gaining a very good coursework grade and a final grade A. If you are contemplating buying this book as another addition to your already high-priced library of A level textbooks, then don't hesitate because it will finally pay off. The only disadvantage is the constant text broken occassionally by diagrams; then again what do you expect for choosing the subject chemistry.
