Average Rating: 
Rating:  - terrible
this book is terrible - hardly any info, almost no clinical information, no questions. go with lippincott
Rating:  - 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 ... Read More
Rating: - In need of serious revision...
I purchased several of the high yield and brs reviews for dental boards. As far as the high yield series goes, this one is by far the worst. Most of what is in this book is really basic info, like stuff you learned in Cell Biology as an undergraduate student. It may get you through the boards, but I really doubt this alone could help achieve a high score. Either save your twenty-five bucks and use your class notes, or buy another review text...cause this one sucks!
Rating:  - A caring man's advice: DON'T BUY IT
This book is as unethical as reviews ever come.....Unbelievably expensive 25 USD for its value. A lot of essential very high yield materials are NOT even mentioned. A lot of low yield irrelevant materials mentioned. I dont think the author had a clue what is important. If you wanna a great high yield, get the behavioral science or neuroanatomy high yields but NEVER waste your money on this insulting "review" book.BRS biochemistry is excellent alternative if you have the time or the back of lippincotts ...

Rating:  - 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.
