 Extensive but consise, however soent mirror its syllabus!, 2003-09-17
I have just finsihed my Chemistry A-Level. I used this book. In the 3 modules (2 Half Modules incl.) that you do for Chemistry A-Level this is only sufficient for 2 and a half. You will need to buy another book for Biochemistry. The books were a good resource for many exam questions and the book comes inclusive with sample questions and answers, however these do not necessary mirror the type of questions you will get in the actual exam. I had many questions that I couldn't answer immediatly on the exam paper and when consulting this book, I would have a 50% chance of finding the answer, you can do the maths for the reverse! I would prefer if the book had more reference to the syllabus seeing that the book is made by OCR and so are the exams, not much to ask!!! I recommend it only because I have little knowledge of other books related to A-Level Chemistry and I hope that students will have the facility to find another book that offers more.

Has all the basics, but a bit guffy, 2004-07-02
I studied chemistry at Bristol, and Nick Norman is a brilliant and inspirational lecturer who is capable of delivering ideas with minimum fluff and maximum clarity. His book on S and P block elements has all the essential information for 1st year
students, but won't be of interest beyond that level. It's solid if you want to learn all the basics but ultimately in your 2nd and 3rd years you will wonder what use it is anymore. Furthermore, Norman somehow bulks out the pages and you sometimes feel that he could have summarised everything he says in about 25 pages. Still, it's a nice little book for the beginner. Your choice.

 Excellent, 2002-05-12
I found this book extremely useful. The layout was successful and all of the syllabus was included in the book. The exam questions at the end tested your knowledge.

An essential resource for making every word count, 2007-09-25
I am midway through an Open University degree course and have found 'Line by Line' to be an absolutely indespensible resource. Whenever an academic essay is required I find remaining within strict word limits to be one of the most taxing requirements. Using the simple, but effective, techniques in the book I am able to literally cut an essay word length in half without losing valuable content. Trust me, if you are about to embark - or are already engaged in - any type of scholarship, this is the book for you!

Bare bones crash course in ligand field theory!, 2003-11-15
Picture this. You are a second year undergraduate student and you havn't a clue about the effect of ligands on d - electron orbital splitting. Never fear! This bare bones introduction will
allow you to pass, just. There is a dearth of real life examples but otherwise noone can complain about this book. Maybe someday you will be a productive chemist instead of a parasitic student and it may well be because you were inspired by the symmetric elegance of ligand field theory! HA HA
