well orgainized summary

I am a first year med student with only a little previous knowledge of chemistry and therefore was a little daunted by the prospect of biochemistry. I found Salway's book allayed a lot of my fears. the reason I found it so helpful was that the format of highlighting each path and discussing the key substrates and enzymes helped focus me in on what was important. I found this a great adjunct to my main biochem text and would highly recommend this book.
