Book Reviews of Chemistry For Dummies
Book Review: Easy do it yourselfer!
Summary: 4 Stars
I needed this book for my nursing entrance exam, it was for sure worth every penny!Book Review: not intended for dummmies
Summary: 3 Stars
It was a bit too detailed for my liking. I felt it could have been broken down into more laymans terms with more examples. I found it difficult to stay interested. it was more for a person going to be a chemist rather than a person trying to get a step ahead for a college chemistry courseBook Review: OK but not the best
Summary: 3 Stars
I have seen this company provide better books. This book was not so clear and detailed as other dummie books. Study your text book, use your Ti-84 calculator ad ask your local college professor for help. You'll do fine without this book.Book Review: Chemisty for Dummies
Summary: 3 Stars
It was helpful as well as could be. For me Chemistry is a very difficult subject to understand, it did help clarify some areas.Book Review: Still a Chemistry Dummy
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this book to give myself, a self-proclaimed chemistry idiot, a head start and less of a handicap for when school begins in January (I'll be pre-med). BIG mistake.The author makes a few good points, for example, in explaining the differences between various branches of chemistry, but seeing as how I'm not planning a career in chemistry per se, it was nice to know, but I really don't care. I just want a basic understanding to build off of and some exercises to practice before my classes start so I'll know what the h*ll I'm doing. Is that asking too much?
Dr. Moore writes this book from the POV of a science nerd recruiting other potential science nerds for the chemical career field, and assumes that the reader has more understanding than I seem to possess. I wanted Chemistry for Dummies. I got Chemistry for 10th Grade Science Nerds.
So, what, do I need Chemistry for Toddlers? Or am I doomed to just fail and not get into med school? Thanks for nothing, Dr. Moore. I appreciate the effort nonetheless.
