A Biochem must.

This is a well written, well illustrated book. I found it very helpful and highly recommend it.

good

I did not use this book very much but, it gives good short details and would be very good to read before you take the class to give you some background information.

Great Overview

When I wanted to start reading Lenninger Priciple's of Biochemistry it felt like a bucket of cold water... there were many things that I could not understand; hence, I went for something simple and concise, something that gives me enough background (in a short amount of time) info to somehow figure out what Lenninger tried to explain. For that purpose, this book is very good. In fact, I am reading it again in some chemistry class that I have because the class is boring. However, do not expect to be a master biochemist after you read this book, this is just an INTRODUCTION and OUTLINE of the main ideas... only the concepts that are used most often appear! Another feature that I like is that it is pocket size, meaning that I can carry it around easily!

Although obvious, the bad part of the download version is that you have to be attached to a computer =(
