It is a high school level book and not hard to understand. The opposite. It also has nice pictures, examples, little stories etc. Chapters 1-5 are introductory so I would start with chapters 6 to 9 and learn those very well. Then move to 13-16. In all of those chapters try to learn examples so on test day you have familiarity. Then move as you like by doing relevant chapters together. In the end of a unit I would print the corresponding OMalley test and see how fluent I am. I would leave organic for the very end of my study. The book has a whole chapter on titration with multiple examples, pictures etc. I am going to repeat the need to be familiar with certain element, compounds etc. For example if you get a question asking the geometry of CO2 molecule you should not try to find out from theory on test day. I make cheat sheets like: geometry of some common compounds, list of most common reactions with precipitates, list of most common single replacement reactions, list of properties of halogens etc. Chances are you will get some of those on test day and you will know the answers without trying to figure it out. This way you will have more time to do the stoich or/and think for other questions. Review the cheat sheets often.
