O-chem: Wade or McMurry?

[mmapcpro]

Which of these is the more readable text, or is easier to follow to learn without the benefit of a classroom?

I must caveat my last post by saying that Organic chemistry was (and still is) my favorite subject.

I thought wade was very good.

I was really pleased with the readability of the Wade textbook. I have also heard very good things about the Carey textbook. Has anyone else heard this?

I had the McMurry book and I got a VERY good grade with this class being my 3rd chem class ever! (Just after gen chem 1 and 2). I found it really easy to follow with great rxn mechanism summaries.

i had Wade, but i thik i opened the book once or twice.

personally, i think being in every lec is more important for Org than anything else. but then again, there are people that can do just fine with only a book.
