Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Expensive for review Comment: I was amazed at the price for this paperback. It is interesting in content and a pleasant surprise is the inclusion of thermodynamics/kinetics of enzyme substrate interactions. A nice review for anyone who learned the material once and needs a quick reference but not enough detail for a college exam. Amusingly, I found this book in the JUNIOR section of my public library and the circulation specialist told me it was justified because junior includes up to eighteen years old. I'm still laughing because Biochemistry is an advanced undergraduate course, and the organic chemistry prerequisites for university level is appropriate. The book is useful, but overpriced for a small paperback. It should be no more than $20 new. Customer Rating: Summary: Not Very Helpful Comment: I did not find this book very helpful at all, and I actually found reading a longer text, such as Voet et al., less time consuming. Customer Rating: Summary: great book for the forgetfuls Comment: for people like me who have short term memory, it's great to be able to remember biochemistry in 10 min. Customer Rating: Summary: Neicht! No German should buy this book. Comment: I did not find this book helpful at all. Only for lazy students who do not want to study!!! Customer Rating: Summary: Very helpful basic information Comment: Great help for those of us who aren't scientists by nature. If you're struggling with your textbook I recommend this as a good supplement - especially right before exam time! Not detailed enough to skip class though, but worth the time and money. More Reviews
