The Thunderbirds of all biomedical textbooks
I bought this at the start of my first year at med school thinking I'd be living off it. Before I knew it exams were looming and this little piece of joy on my bookshelf saved my bum. Chapters start with a brief overview of the content, often with a simplified pathway or two helping the reader get a good overview of the topic. There are also clinical relations throughout - useful as it's easy to get lost in biochem and forget why you're actually learning all this stuff anyway.

Very good
Love the clinical aspect of this book, plus the patient's names who are in the waiting room are rather amusing! Otherwise good biochem book for preclinical years med students
