not read enough other books on the subject to comment "fairly", but morrison and boyd's "organic chemistry" is one of the best texts i've seen on any subject. they take a traditionally daunting and information-dense subject and work out a clear, logical path through it that builds the material up step by step, explaining the principles behind each step and frequently referring back to foundational material. if you're struggling with organic chemistry in college, i'd strongly recommend getting a copy of this book.
