Customer Reviews

a disappointing book
Although many students find this to be THE definitive book on biochemistry I am inclined to disagree.It does contain all the essential information that I have wanted to read up on but I find it to be dull in style.The black and white text does not do justice to the numerous diagrams and I find the layout generally poor.Finally, I am rather displeased that it has taken so long for a new edition to be published....many of my friends have to wait until December to obtain this new edition....by this time they will have completed the basic biochemistry that this book sets out to deal with.

Excellent accurate material for a brief review of subject
I reccomend this book to all foriegn doctors who are preparing for the USMLE. The American students will also find this and excellent review guide to brush-up their biochemistry even weeks before the boards. It is well tailored to the requirements of first and second year medical students. The book also provides conceptual explanations unlike many other texts, which merely relate the facts and attempt to support them with petty statistical figures. The illustrations are tastefully done; are almost self-explanatory, are accurately placed and appropriately sized.

THE best biochemistry book you can have as an undergrad
I cannot understand why people don't like this book. It is THE answer to all your problems if you have difficulty understanding or remembering biochemistry topics and concepts. I can only imagine that those people who negatively criticise it fall into the minority, ie those who never had a problem understanding this subject and wish to have a deeper understanding of it.

This is NOT a book to use if you are looking for greater understanding behind a topic, but it is the book for everyone who has difficulty with the subject in any way. Diagrams are clear and concise, concepts are laid out accessibly and the language is easy to follow.

Long Live Lippincott!!!!
