Cartoon guide to chemistry [Posted on 2007-11-14]
It is so basic in concepts and the presentation (materials and graphics)is not as good as I thought. It would be useful to show some pages of the book to the customers.

The weakest of Gonick s books [Posted on 2008-01-18]
I have all of Gonick s great cartoon books and was really expecting more from this one... I am teaching chemistry and was disappointed. Just compare it with Genetics in cartoons...Chemistry is not as boring as shown here, Larry!

Fun way to learn [Posted on 2008-07-22]
This book is required summer reading for AP Chemistry. Looks like a fun way to get an overview of the subject.

You need basic chemistry knowledge [Posted on 2008-10-02]
I never took chemistry. This book was way over my head even though I just skimmed in. The cartoons are easy to look at (no dark, foreboding shading) - but I understood 'squat' from this book. I hope my giftee sees it differently with his B.S. in Chem. I WAS impressed with the last few chapters where future implications were addressed. Once I give this book-gift, I'll report back with "my expert's" opinion on this book. In the meantime, I'll stick with mixing together fruit juices.

Great for Chemistry / Physical Sciences Education [Posted on 2008-11-25]
I've read many other "Cartoon Guide to ______ " books and this one is similarly well done. It does a good job in the early chapters of explaining basic chemistry concepts that a middle school student should be able to understand, then goes into more advanced concepts appropriate for high school / AP Chemistry.

Great examples and a good way to teach visual learners.
