<p>What do you guys think of John McMurry's Organic Chemistry book? Do you find it better/worse than other orgo texts? What other authors do you recommend for orgo books?</p>
<p>Duke switched over to Louden a couple years back. McMurry was easier to understand but not as in depth - "orgo lite", the faculty had started calling it.</p>
<p>In my interpretation, that makes McMurry better for premed purposes.</p>
<p>Just buy whatever your school recommends.</p>
<p>My Organic Chemistry I and II class uses McMurry's text. It's a good book. The only problem I have with it is that it asks you to do too much with limited info from the text. But it gives you a good overview of organic chem</p>
<p>Don't know about McMurry...We used Carey...</p>
<p>I think sometimes profs just use books that they had a part in reviewing...</p>
