 Very, very good, though not the ideal revision book March 25, 2008
Pure Pianist (London, UK)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Considering there are no Edexcel-specific textbooks (apart from those awful NAS books, which leave you more confused than you already were), this book is a gem. It's aesthetically very pleasing, presented in full colour along with frequent diagrams. The explanations are unambiguous and the clear presentation supplements this.
I had two problems with this book, however. One is the lack of answers - without them, the practice questions and paper become somewhat useless (unless you can persuade a nice enough teacher to mark them for you). Another is that Facer sometimes goes a little overboard with the non-syllabus material, so that it becomes a tad long-winded and you may feel overwhelmed at the amount of information presented. Thus, this textbook is probably best suited to the initial learning process rather than the final revision period.
 The bible for A2 Edexcel Chemistry students! August 28, 2007

For anybody taking Edexcel Chemistry at A2-level, this book is a must-have. The standard issue NAS books (those skimpy green things) are awful: they are full of incoherent detail and poor explanations. This book, by George Facer, is clear and concise and sticks exactly to the Edexcel A2 syllabus (there are some areas in which Facer goes off-syllabus but this is indicated in the text and can be easily ignored). I appreciated how the book was organised in sections which complemented the syllabus, making revision effective and easy. George Facer uses model-answer definitions and provides down-to-earth and easy-to-understand explanations of all the key concepts. The sample questions and mock exams are perfect and accurate of the actual difficulty found within the exam papers. The full colour and user-friendly layout make this the best Chemistry book produced. Boost your A2 grade and get this book! Don't waste your time with the NAS books unless you can understand their awful style.

George Facer is the greatest. His chemistry books are brilliant and are a real help.I couldn't recommend this book enough. It is very detailed yet also very well laid out to make it easy to read. It is the essential chem book for A2 and will give you everything you need for the exams.
