Summary: Truly Organic!
Comment: I bought this book in January 2007 for my MChem course at a much higher price (£59.99) from a well known University bookshop. Although I paid way too much for it I have to say it's the best investment I ever made as I found it to be very useful throughout the duration of my Masters. The book starts off in a very basic to almost A Level standard manner. The reader does not have to have any prior understanding of organic chemistry as the book begins with a section on "What is organic chemistry" and then leads onto organic structures and how to determine structures using different spectroscopic instruments. In total there are 53 chapters which include: Organic reactions, Delocalisation and conjugation, Acidity, Basicity and pKa, Equilibria, Stereochemistry, Retrosynthetic analysis, Fragmentation, Radical reactions, Asymmetric synthesis, Organometallic chemistry and Polymerization. This book helped me score 89% on my Masters. I'm now in my 1st year of my Chemistry PhD and I'm still referring to it! I would recommend every organic chemist (whether undergrad, postgrad or even postdoc) to own a copy of this book. It's a truly organic gem!!!

Summary: Best Organic Chem Book there is!
Comment:
I bought this book for my undergraduate days, I dont know any better organic book as it has everything in right from the begining to more advanced concepts. Organic Chemistry is also well written and well illustrated as well.
If you go into organic chemistry or pharaceuticals, dont sell this book as it is all you will ever need!

Summary: Incredible book!
Comment: I am a high school student who made use of this book (and others) while preparing for my interview at the university of Oxford.
This book has thoroughly enhanced my understanding in the (broad!) field of organic chemistry.
The visual aspect of the book is outstanding. All reactions are coloured so as to emphasize on certain bonds and atoms in the molecules. There are continuous suggestions for students to compare certain reactions with others previously studied.
The content spans over 50 chapters. Unlike older texts where the division is made according to functional groups: (Chapter 1: alkanes, chapter 2: alkenes .....) this book instead classifies each chapter according to reaction types (nucleophilic, electrophilic substitution; nucleophilic, electrophilic addition; elimination E1, elimination E2 etc).
The text never digresses badly, and it always keeps in mind that it is a (high-school, college etc.) student reading.
I recommend this textbook to anyone interested in the field of organic chemistry.

Summary: The best undergraduate organic chemistry book ever written
Comment: This book manages to present the fundamentals of organic chemistry in such an engaging and clear manner that it is an absolute joy to use.
The questions reinforce the material wonderfully and provide a steady learning curve, first building confidence and then stretching the student.
The companion solutions text is definately also worth considering if you are using this book as a tutorial.
All in all, one of the best books you will come across as a student of chemistry.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Definitely worth the money
Comment: If you are serious about learning organic chemistry then go direct to the source. Stuart Warren and his fellow authors have really done a good job with this undergraduate level text.
The book is clearly laid out in sections with good use of colour and diagrams.
There is a glut of books on organic chemistry on the market but not all are as clear and accessible as this one.
Do yourself a favour and get this book and the solutions manual to go with it.
