Confusing.......2005-03-21
This is not a very good textbook and should not be considered if you desire to learn chemistry. The text is not understandable even though I have a masters in chemistry from CalTech.
The organization is not well structured and it's hard to believe that people actually like this book. The writers of this book try to "cram" as much information as possible in each chapter which is NOT necessary. It could be sucessfuly done if they spread out the information and concepts.
HOWEVER, he book problems are excellent. I'll give them that.
Excellent overview of first year chemistry.......2003-06-01
This book is very well written, with helpful diagrams and detailed examples. It is easy to understand and text and with this book it is truly not hard to understand chemistry and do well. I easily got an A in Chemistry I and I believe that everyone who failed the class simply didn't look over the book or their notes after class. It certainly wasn't the fault of the professor or the text- both explained chemistry very well.
From D to B+.......2003-04-10
I had difficulties solving chemistry problems I also bought many books but when I found this one in My local library I was extremely happy with the simplicity of the text problem examples
THIS IS THE BEST BOOK FOR CHEMISTRY CLASS EVER ....I HAD A D IN MY FIRST CHEMISTRY CLASS NOW I AM GETTING As AND Bs Every household should have one .... The best book by far
Chemistry - A Study in Life.......2000-12-05
This book is a leader in the chemistry field, superior to any I've seen. Its explanations are thorough, yet concise. If you are a student, and you have any doubts about the effectiveness of this book, expel them from your mind. This is a book for autonomous thinkers, as it gives you a strong footing in intermediate Chemistry, allowing you to think for yourself. The media companion is also helpful. It brings the book to life, helping those students who work best with visual stimulus. Perhaps you do not have a computer in your home, but take the time to use this tool at your school. As for the teachers, you may have my assurance that my time spent as a student using this book was made more complete only by my professor's lectures. Please consider this book a valuable addition to your Chemistry library.
Excellent Book!.......2000-11-20
This book was more helpful for me than my professors' lectures! It is very helpful for all general chem students, including those who hate chemistry (I do not).

A brilliant novel--a book everyone should read........1999-05-26
Kentuckiana is a brilliant novel, and I urge everyone to read it. Payne presents the Miles--a suburban family forced to exist solely for the whims of his metafictional narrator--in an enrapturing, entertaining, and challenging manner, and by doing so, offers a provacative glimpse into the basic yearnings and darkness of the human heart. We are given well-crafted characters existing within the same collective conscious as the reader and, remarkably, in such an intricate and detailed manner that one can't help but empathize with the characters who face some of the most dreadful events life can throw at them, and with the narrator whose own bleak life compels him to create them. The dark appeal of this novel resides in the somewhat naive hope that they will eventually escape their dysfunction and, if not exist in happiness, at least not cause any more suffering, either to themselves or to each other. The comic undertones are bleak and disturbing--this is N OT a novel for the faint of heart (In one episode, a live cat is incinerated--ghastly and sickening, and one of the most brilliant bits in the novel). Nor is this book an easy read; it requires concentration, a suspension of disbelief, and the willingness to identify with and care about a set of characters incapable of caring about themselves. If you're up to the challenge, this novel will be a wonderful literary event for you.
Breaking the boundaries in introspective narrative.......1998-03-02
Not since reading styron's Lie Down in Darkness years ago have I had such an emotional response to the power and absoluteness of someone's writing as I felt upon reading Payne's Kentuckiana. From the first page, I was absorbed and caught dead center by the honesty that resonated for me in the words I read. What the author gives readers here is a staggering, intensely persuasive, and haunting perspective of a flesh-and-blood American family. Despite the "metaphysical" premise of the opening chapter that we are to meet and interact with the smoke and mirrors of fiction, the characters proceed instantly to create their own dynamics and come alive in the mind of the reader. It doesn't matter who they are, but that they are. Alive, real, in the complexity of their relationships with one another in the settings that enclose/thwart/sustain/catalyze/compel them. Their immediacies, attitudes and behaviors are made compelling by the articulateness, the lyrical intelligence, the richness of their thoughts and words, so that their tragedy lies not in their disability (as distinct from inability) to communicate emotional pain, protest, anguish or joy within the family framework or the confines of other relationships. It is, rather, a sense of the inchoate, the unspokenness underlying the whole fabric of the straightforward context of the "ordinary" family unit from which they spring (and with which they are irrevocably enmeshed) that comprises the tragedy here--a bright sadness or gap of silence that remains mysterious, haunting to the mind and heart, even as their words flow on and on, over and through the misactions, the skewed attempts, the growths, acceptances, failures, compromises and intractabilities. I heartily recommend this novel for the insights it offers into the failures and successes of modern families.
Kentuckiana is terrific.......1998-02-26
If folks didn't catch the hyperbolic comedy of Payne's novel, then people are as humorous as the skiffy people that Harlan Ellison disdains. Kentuckiana creates wonderful personalities; often disturbing, but more often exposed with comic anecdotes that struck me with familiarity and resourceful curiosity. Johnny Payne is one of the finest storytellers in the field today; he cuts into the deep pathos of the Miles family with remarkable precision and insight. I high recommend this book.
A book with characters that have fascinating voices........1998-02-25
The characters are full of personality; bizarre, sometimes stubborn, always real individuals. I like how the author is able to bring to life so many different and interesting characters in a seemingly effortless way. I think that's the real mark of a writer's creativity: to make the difficult appear easy and somehow natural. The author Johnny Payne possesses this special creativity. I read the book in one afternoon and will re-read it. Payne packs in a lot of substance in this novel and I think a re-reading will help me enjoy and understand the novel better. A beautifully crafted piece of fiction. I give it the highest mark.
Definitely worth a look........1998-02-21
I thought that Kentuckiana was a good book and the characters were all moving, although very flawed. Jean especially was an interesting one, and the scene where he "talks" to his dead father in the graveyard was one of the best in the book. It was both sad and funny. I would recommend this as a good read for anyone with skeletons in their closet.
