Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Superb...In every Way
Attributes:
1. Wonderfully written in a lucid and point-of-fact manner w/minimal fluff.
2. The correlations are clearly laid out and a must for sensing the overall picture.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - nice book
this book is good for fast review before USMLE. biochemistry should be learnd from Devlin.
