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

By	Rodney Eddi "Internal Medicine Doctor" (West Paterson, NJ) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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 the best biochem review book, February 20, 2000

By A Customer

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not worth the time, June 7, 2004

By A Customer

This book was not helpful to me studying for Step 1. It contains too much unnecessary detail while it lacks clinically relevant information. 1st aid was sufficient + Lippincott for its nice charts.

This book is not bad but for Board review stick with Goljan and get the Rapid Review. For class there is not enough detail so I would stick with Lippincott's Biochemistry
