Book Reviews of the Chemistry For Dummies
Customer Review: Good, but kind of fluffy
Summary: 2 Stars
Whether or not you should buy this book really depends on what you need it for.If you're interested in learning more about how chemistry is used in everyday life, this book is excellent. It does a very good job of explaining how chemistry is used in a variety of consumer and industrial situations. This is an interesting book in this sense, and very complete.
However, if you're taking a chemistry class, this is not such a good book. The explanations of chemical topics are a little fluffy, and certainly not what anybody would consider complete. While well-written and lively, it's just not "chemical" enough to give the serious student any real help when studying.
My conclusion: If you're looking for a fun book about chemistry, buy this one. If you're a student who needs help, go elsewhere.
