3.0 out of 5 stars
Too simple. Too many errors.,
By Mitchell Mcgill (Kansas City, Missouri.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Genes IX (Hardcover)
The title of this review is a succinct description of it. We used Genes IX in one of my graduate courses at the University of Kansas Medical Center. The book is generally marketed as a high level text, but frankly I found it to be too simple. While I appreciate simplicity and generally promote the "KISS" way of thinking, I just couldn't get into it here. I felt it was lacking in detail. Further, there were a number of typos and minor factual errors that made me uncomfortable. I didn't feel confident learning from this book. I know its a widely loved text, so maybe I'm just missing something. I'll be generous and give three stars.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Confusing and inaccurate text,
This review is from: Genes IX (Hardcover)
I bought this book to accompany a graduate-level molecular biology course, and found it extremely unhelpful. Midway though the course I stopped reading the book entirely in favor of depending on information from the lectures. I regret spending the money. The major problems with the book are:- There are MANY obvious typos and editing errors. This is especially concerning because as a student you depend on your textbook for accurate information; you don't want to memorize a typo. - The figures are vague, incompletely labeled, and often misleading. - The organization of the text is disjointed. Essential detailed are completely left out of some discussions, only to be mentioned a few pages later. This makes it very difficult to form a coplete understanding of the topic. One advantage of this book is that at the end of each chapter it gives a comprehensive list of reviews and papers from scientific literature that you can use to supplement your reading. If you are unfortunate enough to have to depend on this book for your learning of molecular biology, I would recommend doing this.

This review is from: Genes IX (Hardcover)
I'm not very happy with the way the genes books have been organized lately... the subjects are fragmented and it not always clear what we are reading, if it is prokaryotic or eukaryotic system, p.e.
