Best Physical Chemistry resource?

Question

According to reviews on Amazon, the textbook im using (Physical Chemistry- Second Edition, by Thomas Engel and Philip Reid) is HORRIBLE... which came as absolutely no surprise to me. All the reviewers said they were glad their teacher's were so helpful because the book quite possibly made learning thermodynamics HARDER... but I DONT HAVE A GOOD TEACHER. SHE SUCKS. 

know of any good P. chem books that really help? i cannot survive this semester if i have to rely on lectures and this sh!tty text book...
