4.0 out of 5 stars Genetically Fun, June 10, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Essential Genetics (Paperback)

This was a book that I dreaded to read for a college class. I opened it and stared at the cover with dread. However, I was very surprised to find that it was easy to understand and even.....interesting? Yes, I admit, I fell in love with the subject of genetics by reading this book. It had real world applications and provided many sample questions. The pictures were great and a perfect addition to the entire book. I really enjoyed this book.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Essential Genetics: A Genomic Perspective (Paperback)

I was a little sketchy when I saw how cheap this book was priced when I ordered it but thought it would be worth a shot. And it was certainly worth it! It's in good condition and as a college kid, saving money is the best! :)

This review is from: Essential Genetics: A Genomic Perspective (Paperback)

Adequate book for my Genetics class, even though it's an edition behind the one recommended.
