Summary: A waste of time
Review: A too simply and vague way to describe "biochemistryland". May be good for someone but certainly not for medical students preparing for the Boards.
Rating: 
Summary: good quick review
Review: Easily memorizable, great map of pathways, another winner from the ridiculously simple crew!

Summary: Big disappointment from the "ridiculously simple" series...
Review: I generally like material put out by the "ridiculously simple" series. This text is a dud. The material covered is very shallow. I found the writing tedious and overly simplistic. If you want a good foundation in biochem go with Lehninger's Biochemistry along with Basic Medical Biochemistry by Marks, Marks, and Smith. I understand that this was not intended to be a detailed biochem text. However, the material here is beyond "simplistic". It is quite insufficient to appraise one with facts and or knowledge.

Summary: Too simplified for those needing more background in biochem.
Review: I was amazed - it took me the time needed to read the two pages involved to memorize all the essential amino acids! Highly recommend this book for those who HAVE to take biochem and are scared to death of it!

Summary: Review
Review: It contains a fairly decent chapter on metabolic diseases, related to biochemistry.Helpful as a possible review, not as a primary study source.
Rating:
Summary: content over-simplified and lacking in many areas.
Review: this book, although targetted for medical students, left much out and didn't seem to stress any one thing. i think the author focused more on crafty word choices to discuss biochemistry than he did on choosing the appropriate content.
