Summary: Perfect for the Step 1
Review: Hi, I got this book during my first year of medical school. It was perfect for the biochemistry course with a lay-out that makes it easy to read. This summer I found use for the book again as I was preparing for the USMLE step 1 and again I realized what a great book this is. Fast and easy to review, and the questions make you feel confident in the subject.

Summary: Must have for biochemistry
Review: This book was excellent for my biochemistry class and for board studying. I used it mainly as a reference during my board studying. It has great diagrams and references to biochemical diseases.

Summary: Perfect!
Review: You know, most review books are too concise. They simply list the points (next to bullets) and expect you to know and understand them. Some of the facts they LIST are not entirely accurate, some are trivial, some important facts are left out completely. Then give you a bunch of MCQs and feel they've done their job.Not the case with this book. Although it's called all review, it's perhaps comprehensive enough to promote to an introductory (I stress this book is not for Biochemistry majors; it is perhaps most suited for Medical students - ie. those who don't need very detailed biochemistry knowledge) biochemistry text. Most medical (and other non-biochemistry majors) students will find this more than adequate for their courses. It contains more relevant facts than the Board Review Series by Dawn Marks (which I found insufficient for my course). The feature that sets it apart from the competition is that it EXPLAINS the facts. Sure, it doesn't have as much detailed explaination as Lehninger, Voet or Stryer, but it is certainly enough. If you're not a Biochemistry major, this is a must get for your biochemistry course.
