The first issue I have with this book is the quality of the figures. Some of them are fuzzy/blurry as if they were copied and pasted at low resolution. The little CD icon is really fuzzy. I feel that for such a high cost book, the quality of the figures should be higher. Also, there is no glossary. There are words in bold, but no glossary to look them up it. This really irritating and a personal pet peeve of mine. Also, I feel that the text itself is not as clear or well organized as it could be. For example, the alpha and beta designations of sugars is never properly explained. In general, this book is acceptable, but there has to be a better book out there.

Also! Grisham and Garret are the authors of TWO biochem books. Double check before you order. I accidentally ordered the wrong one the first time.

Solid book. Perhaps bit of a stretch for a level 3000 class, but challenging is good, right? (My prof. says that this book is designed for level 3000 or 4000 classes.) Retails for $291 new; EXCELLENT value!

i love this book, i am using it for my biochemistry class and it helps me understand the material very well. I also loved the price since my school's bookstore charges close to double what its worth with amazon.com.

The textbook is pretty standard. It may be a little long winded in portions about details that are very specific but unnecessary. In general, it is at least a good reference for use in biochemistry.

Condition was excellent and it look brand new also I would reconmmend people to buy from this seller.

Taking an intro class into biochem I found this book very hard to follow very vague and basically lots of big words were used to confuse me the reader. I hate this book with a passion and feel that lehninger accompanied by any biochem review book is worth your money if this is required in your course tell your proff about lehninger the gold standard of biochemistry.

LEHNINGER is the only way biochem should be taught.

THIS BOOK SUCKS
