Its signature outline format, full-color illustrations, and end-of-chapter summaries and USMLE-style review questions make it one of the most user-friendly books in the field. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Great book for biochem not so much for the boardsFor those who like pictures along with their text, this book is great. Even though biochemistry is a detailed subject this book is not too weighed down in details and will allow you to understand the material fairly well. However, I stared to turn to it more as a reference than a main source. This may be because I thought that it was not calibrated appropriately for the usmle. It seems to be written more for a biochemistry class. It lacks in clinical correlations, the ability to be quickly reviewed, ...

The book is so well written with the perfect amount of detail. When you read these books you don't feel like your studying. The pictures are amazing and really help solidify the concepts. I highly recommend this book for any health professional. Biochem can be a duanting subject and this book greatly simplifies it! Rating: - IlluminatingI am a first year mature age medical student with a bit of biochemistry under my belt and with several other degrees completed in the past. I have read through dozens of weighty tomes in my lifetime and this is one of the best I have come across in any discipline. This book goes into more detail than is perhaps required in first year medicine. However, I found it worth trying to read through because I find biochem one of those subjects where its difficult to just have a simplified explanation of things, ... Read More Rating:  - goodIm studying medicine and my proffesor recomended the Harper`s Illusrated biochemistry from Lange. This is a very detailed book with a scientific language, withOUT too many explenations for beginners in this subject. Therefore my and my fellow classmates found this Lippincot book to be far better. One of the things I always appreciate in this kinds of books is if the index is large and easy to use and of course that I find what I am looking for. And Lippincot`s index is good. Rating: - Clinically orientedThis book is very good about applying biochemistry to clinical settings. It is very easy to read also. Although sufficient for my biochem class, it may not get deep enough for other biochem classes. If you are in a master's program for biochem it probably isn't sufficient.
