Worthless - By: J. Norberg, 13 May 2006 
I bought this book because I needed refresher course on chemistry & thought this would be good.
Unfortunately, if you already know chemistry, this book will teach you nothing. Also, unfortunately, if you don't know chemistry then this book will teach you nothing. The existence of this book seem superfluous.
Yes, there are some mildly amusing cartoons & there are some very terse textbook summaries on chemistry, all printed on very low-grade paper.
I am an engineer by training & I didn't understand a word even of the section on logarithms. That's how bad this book is.
A-level (or similar) guide to Chemistry - By: Gavin Lazaro, 22 Sep 2005 
This is a great book. I teach IB Chemistryin an international schoolin Thailand & my students have had their fill of books which all follow a bog-standard, well-researched, but ultimately rather bland format.
This book is greatin that it gives a lighter format which presents sound factsin a light-hearted way so that students are likely to read a section & not realise that they have learned too much.
It is not, however, a replacement to a text-book - more an addition to a student's library or reading resources. I'm recommmending our school library get a copy or two of this so students can, with their finals around the corner, use it to consolidate information.
It's a good buy & there are otherin the series covering statistics, physics & genetics.
A great buy & a bargain price!
