    I was just wondering if there were any good books that people used to get through O-Chem? Someone told me that Guidebook to Mechanism in Organic Chemistry
    by Peter Sykes really helped them. Any comments?

    someone on another post said the ExamKraker books are pretty good. I was thinking of heading to barnes and noble tommorow to check out the orgo and verbal book.

    Kaplan's "Organic Edge" has been my lifesaver this semester.

    "Pushing Electrons" by Weeks is a great book... I am only on Ch.3 now, but it is really helping me out...

    Paula Bruice's 'Organic Chemistry' is very colorful and good. In many respects, it's seems like the quintessential college text for pre-meds that should be completed from cover to cover. It's not the easiest, but it is graphics heavy.
    This book was used at Northwestern a few years back with great success, but they have since replaced it with something worse.

    I like McMurry too. I bought the 4th edition at Half Price Books for $30.
