Summary: The Authority on Organic Chemistry.
Review: Absolutely brilliant. Well explained. Everything has a reason, and almost everything has been explained by the authors.
This book is the authority on Organic Chemistry at the undergrad level. Period.

Summary: Organic Chemistry: Morrison and Boyd
Review: I am a practicing physician now and have been for almost 20 years. I used one of the earlier editions of this wonderful text book while attending LSU in Baton Rouge, La.
Althought I majored in Zoology with a minor in Chemistry, my natural intimidation of chemistry made me "fear" my first encounter with Organic Chemistry.
At LSU we used Morrison and Boyd. This text and the way it is written made the experience most enjoyable. It is concise and very well written with emphasis made easily on key issues that build step by step a strong platform from which to learn organic chemistry.
My niece is now at Duke University in Pre-Med, and reminded me s of my nervousness as the time approaches for her to tackle this subject. Although her university does not apparently use this text ,I highly recommended this text to her as a wonderful companion to whatever text her university used. I whole-heartedly recommend this text for anyone about to face this wonderful subject and want to easily understand some complex principles.

Summary: Quite excellent, I loved this one
Review: I am not a Chemistry major, however I found Morrison & Boyd interesting. I used this book in high school for about 50% percent of the Chemistry syllabus in high school related to organic chemistry. The style of the authors was refreshing, and I found it easy to read large sections in short periods. I also found it easy to recall a lot of points as the book was written in such a way as to lead you from one point to the other, which style is the best for organic chemistry. Again, I used this book for a chemistry course in my freshman year, and I did not regret the decision. A wonderful book, it is a phenomenon in publishing.

Summary: The Best book for Organic Chemistry fundamentals
Review: I used this book for my undergrad and grad and I would consider this is as the best book for Organic Chem fundamentals. Mechanisms were dealt in a very simplistic and clear way which enable the reader to comprehend the subject easily. A Must read book for any person who is interested to learn Organic Chemistry....

Summary: Great text for organic chemistry
Review: My undergraduate organic class used this book for its text. I found it to be surprisingly readable and made the difficult concepts easier to understand. Even though I am done with organic chem, this book will remain part of my permanent collection.

Summary: very solid book
Review: This book is one of the best Organic Chemiastry texts I have used. It has the clearest presentation of stereochemistry and mechanism, and is second only to Louden's text in volume of reactions. An excellent book.

Summary: Organic Chemistry by Morrison and Boyd
Review: This book is very complete. I utilized it in order to supplement formal studying for the Fundamentals of Engineering Exam.
The work contains a solid foundation in the structure of matter
which leads up to the behavior of molecules, hydrocarbons,
reactivity, chain reactions and the molecular formula. The book
presumes some prior knowledge of chemistry or an instructor
who will spend more time on the fundamental principles. There are
many examples depicting the various concepts and ample solution
sets to assist in homework preparation and examinations.
The work is a good reference guide in chemistry . I found that
it was useful in explaining material beyond the coverage of
the Engineering Review Courses. There is a very detailed coverage
of the "ane", "ene" and "yne" subdivisions of chemical reactions. This work should be retained for future use after
taking the basic course.

Summary: VERY SOUND: WITH ELABORATIVE ANALYSES
Review: This edition of "Morrison and Boyd Organic Chemistry" drew inspiration from its decades of continuous improvements. The underlying principles of the book are sound and idealistic. Its scope is broad; and covered every part of Organic Chemistry, which will interest both undergraduate and post-graduate students. Every detail was bared!
In all the aliphatic and alicyclic compounds they dealt with, the authors of this book gave comprehensive insight into the behaviour of each Homologous Series: with thorough analysis of the unique characteristics of respective Funtional Groups.
The simplistic method with which it described Molecular Orbital and Orbital Symmetry is commendable. Readers would as well, value its style of explaining the fundamental mechnisms of Polymerization, in addition to other synthetic pathways through which several important compounds like the Amines, the Esters, and the Carboxylic Acids are obtained.
This is a wonderful book, which touched every section of Organic Chemistry. Apart from insinuating that comparable texts sell for cheaper rates, the only significant complaint anyone could table against this book is that it provided too much details in its analyses. But, is that really a fault?
