Summary: Graduate Level Book
Review: I bought this book for a graduate level biochem class. However after spending a couple of months with this book I hardly use it. The diagrams and tables are excellent, but the way the text is written is horrible. Most of my biochem professors do not like the book for that reason (we use it here because one of our professors was an author). Some might tell you that because it is a graduate level text it is supposed to be hard to understand, that is hog wash. I don't recommend buying this book unless you have to, there are much better selections out there.

Summary: Graduate Level but very good read
Review: I used this textbook as the primary book for my graduate level biochem class. Its a very tough read sometimes because of the amount of information packed into each page but all in all it is very well written and more than worth the money.

Summary: Great book...too bad pages are missing
Review: This WOULD be a great edition of Voet and Voet. Unfortunately this book is riddled with missing pages! I've only had the book for a few weeks now, and I've already noticed that there are at least 30 pages missing (Chapter 10 is completely GONE).
I don't know if this just a bad copy, but I just wanted to warn whomever decides to purchase this book. I would stick to the second edition, its perfectly fine unless you really need a recently published biochem book.
