BRS Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, and Genetics, Fifth Edition PDF

For a "Board Review" book, you need something that is accurate and condensed. This is not accurate, and while the book is short I wouldn't call it condensed - it's just short. Looks like plenty of other reviewers have already mentioned the errors, so I won't go into detail on that. However, when I compare this against Lippincott's Biochemistry review, this book doesn't even register on the scale. Where Lippincott's book is condensed, but still has enough information to refresh and re-teach important principles, the BRS book is more of a "cut and paste" of little blurbs of info that seem dis-jointed. Worse, with the errors in the book, the "cut and pasted" segments don't quite have enough detail for most people to pick up on the errors.

This book has made me seriously consider the whole BRS series - I will be highly critical of each book, and not just assume that they are all good.

Do not buy this book - it will waste your time and cost you points on Step 1!

After Lippincot's I have taken this book for review, i am really disappointed, information given in book is not enough even yo answer the questions given at the end of every chapter.
