Fantastic book, - By: K. Han, 10 Jul 2007 
To be honest, I disagree this book is better than the text book published by Cambridge. Although this book does have nice diagrams & all, it overlooks some information on the organic section, i.e. it does not mention the catalyst required for the nitration of nitrobenzene (H2SO4).
I did not like the entire section on unifying cocepts at all because I found it very confusing, the book gave lots of equations on calculations, but did not make clear what they were.
The book is ok on trends & patterns, nothing bad, nothing special. But it does a brillant job on explaining lattice enthalpy.
definitely worth buying! - By: S. Ghosh, 28 Jan 2007 
This text book is much better than my school text book & another revision guide I have, because it's conscice, & also gives you thorough understanding.
It was pretty much all I used for A2 chemistry revision & it got me an A.
Really useful! - By: Nicola B, 14 May 2006 
I'm currentlyin my last few weeks of college before finals & so bought this bookin a last minute panic. It's really easy to understand & has made me more confidentin my chemistry ability (which isn't that extensive, believe me!). Everything is explained really well & at an understandable level. It's not too basic though & explains everything you need to know. I haven't given it 5 stars because it doesn't have anything about acyl chlorides, which is a new topic for the syllabus, however this isn't a big deal as it's only a very small section of the course.
A fantastic, easy-to-understand, no-nonsense revision guide. I'm off to buy the AS copy for my resits!
