Summary: Better than Biochemistry for Dummies!
Review: Because of this book, I survived pre-dental courses. I started taking this book to my pathology class to work on a group presentation. My instructor asked to borrow it to read. She is so fascinated by the book that she hasn't returned it yet as she is making additions to her class lectures. She has even recommended it as an excellent reference book. Holum does a superb job of explaining a complex topic! (Buy this book, but DON'T share it with anyone! :-)

Summary: Biochemistry made reader-friendly
Review: Holum does a superb job of explaining a complex topic! (Buy this book, but DON'T share it with anyone! :-) Because of this book, I aced this course. I took this book to class for a presentation. My instructor asked to borrow it. He was so fascinated by the book that he kept it the rest of the semester and he now includes it in his course agenda as an excellent reference book.

Summary: A timely text that meets a popular need.
Review: This textbook answers the need for an introduction to biochemistry for students who have little or no background in organic chemistry. Although the current edition includes the effective use of color and photos, the student does not drown in 1000+ pages that typlify other popular biochem texts. You don't need to know much about chemistry to get a lot out of this book
