Format:Paperback
This book is well set out and easy to read. It explains subject matter simply, aided by diagrams, making even the difficult areas of A-level chemistry easy to understand.
The only let down as far as i am concerned is that there is a lack of worked examples, but apart from this, it is a very good textbook.

I bought this book on the recommendation of my chemistry teacher as an aid to help me improve my grade. I had got a D in AS chemistry and found the school textbook to be difficult for the basics, and I had not really learned anything new since GCSE. I found this textbook very easy to read as it introduces topics without assuming you know much/anything at all about them. I also liked the laid back nature of the language and illustrations. I began revising from it and made notes on the entire book, whilst following the syllabus of the examining board and found I actually began to enjoy chemistry and was ahead in some of my classes. I retook my AS and got an A, with an overall A2 grade of B.
I cannot recommend this book highly enough. It made me interested in a subject I had long given up hope in, and I have taken it to university with me as a reference. One minor fault is that one or two calculations in the book are incorrect, but with its help I had got to the stage where I was able to notice and correct them. *****

This book is set out in a user-friendly way and is supported by a comprehensive index. The numerous diagrams and photos help to make the topics under discussion easily accessible. Key points are highlighted within the topic and there is a concise end of chapter summary, with test questions and answers reinforcing understanding. There are worked examples of more difficult calculations, which provide students with a systematic approach to the maths.
I particularly like the mini cartoons and limericks which pepper the text, helping to break up topics which could otherwise be heavy reading. This book covers complex topics in a light-hearted but informative way and provides an exceptionally good grounding for building further chemical knowledge.

Not a good text book.
This book is a blend of a complete lack of advanced information and a confusing layout. Granted the many exam questions are helpful but the information doesn't equip you to answer... Read more

Too lacking in info to be any good
This book just does not cover the essentials of Chemistry A-level. Now I'm all for the simplification of topics, but there is a point at which you you can simply strip too much... Read more
