Hey there,
I was just trying to figure out what would be a good orgo book...you know just to supplement the text book.
I am taking orgo this fall semester and would like to ace it 😛 so i need some advice.
My class will be using Vollhardt's "Organic Chemistry."I looked at it but didn't find it that great...any recomendations for supplemental easy to understand/follow materials?

Organic Chemistry as a Second Language (Paperback)
by David R. Klein
# Paperback: 322 pages
# Publisher: John Wiley & Sons Inc (May 28, 2004)
# ISBN: 0471692352
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/04...ef=sr_1_1/103-2128946-3643065?ie=UTF8&s=books

In 2005 this book was split into 2 books. I used this book after my first semester and wish I ran into into much earlier. I had to go over ochem 1 during winter break because I had no clue what I was doing. I memorized everything instead of actually learning the how and why of ochem. This book helped tremendously. I can't comment on the 2005 editions.

It's an instructional book and workbook at the same time. It really helps get the basics down for the first exam of Ochem 1. I imagine the 2005 editions expand on this formula and offer a more comprehensive overview of Ochem 1 and 2. Amazon has user reviews on those.
