5.0 out of 5 stars the best biochem review book, February 20, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Biochemistry: Board Review Series (Paperback)

This book is outstanding for use while taking class and then reviewing material for Boards. Clear and concise. The diagrams are clear and somehow stick in your head. Questions at end of chapters are really good. Good explanations too. Easy to read. Better than Lippincott for Board review...many more questions and more high yield material.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Source for Step 1, December 13, 2003

This review is from: Biochemistry: Board Review Series (Paperback)

When I was preparing for step 1, I bought this book as an alternative to "Lippincott's Illustrated Biochemistry". I did not have enough time for that book and other books were too short. At first I was skeptical, but when I started reading the book, everything changed. I studied it in 5 days and I could not believe how well prepared I was. I had no problem during the test. This book gives you a very good understanding of biochemistry as a whole picture. It has some unnecessary chemistry details that you can skip. Also questions are not clinically oriented, so try to use another test book. The author of the book has done a terrific job in summarizing and choosing subjects that are important for test. It has good illustrations that help you visually remember material.

5.0 out of 5 stars great review, March 2, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Biochemistry: Board Review Series (Paperback)

This is a concise review of biochem for the boards. Dr. Marks explains things and is able to put them in an outline form so you are not reading endless text. The questions at the end of each section are really helpful.
