Organic Chemistry As a Second Language by D. R. Klein (link goes to Amazon.com).  I've only flipped briefly through these two books, butthey look appropriate, and I've heard many students find them helpful.  If you're looking for additional study resources, check them out and see if they're worth the money to you.

If you find online resources that you like, and think other students would find useful, let me know!
