Not A Standalone

My experience with this book was a positive one. Well as positive as studying for the boards can get anyway. This text is good for one thing, the overall picture and how the biochem of lipid, carb, and AA metabolism all fits together. This book IS NOT, I REPEAT, NOT! a standalone. However, combine this book with Qbank and First Aide and you will be reasonably prepared for the biochem questions. PROS - fast read, good overall picture of biochemical metabolism CONS - expensive, weak on some subjects ie, heme synthesis and porphyrias. Overall this is a good study aide for Step 1.

Good if you need quick quick coverage.

Nicely summed up by the reviewer below. If you need a very quick-and-dirty review, this is good. I take points off due to the lack of index and some weak sections. At this point, QBank leads me to believe that this book may not cover everything I needed to know.. but good for last minute stuff, especially if you hate Biochem like myself.
