- Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2012First off, if you aren't a fan of the Rapid Review/Goljan outline formatted text, proceed with caution. It's definitely not for everyone.
I used this book as a supplement for Step1 studying with my First Aid. It was a great review of all things biochem that I had forgotten since early first year. It's definitely not the most substantial biochem book available, but I thought it was very useful for Step 1. Step 1 doesn't require PhD-depth of knowledge of biochem (which we were all probably taught as fist year med students). So this book was useful in cutting out the excess we were all taught and gets down to the important enzymes, reactions, co-factors, and such. There are also useful clinical correlates.
Overall, I thought this book was EXTREMELY useful as a supplement to the lacking First Aid. I actually wish I had this book first year, as it would have clarified many topics.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2013The book contains "Most" of the information you may need for undergrade biochem "1st~2nd yr"
It contains "The Best" flow diagram for metabolic pathways that depict succinct pictures.
I have tried many, many ways to reduce down, and integrate metabolic pathways, but this book has those well in well organised manner, which helped me to fully integrate everything.
Another thing, It contains very good summery of metabolite diseases you need to relating biochemistry, However, again it is not a full list, it contains "Most" of what you need to know, but not all,
because it may lack "details" you may need to know, by saying that, Knowing everything in this book will not mean that you will get 95% above from exam, It does lack a few stuff that you may need to know ;
I advise that you "Annotate" this book, and Add more stuff in it "it has good amount of rooms on edges" with your lecture notes and textbooks to prepare for undergrade exams or usmle.
Also, it is a review book, so I advise not to study from it, only recall info from it.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2014I loved the bulleted layout on this book.. It was very useful for my class in med school but its too detailed for step 1.... For step 1 i would probably just stick with FA and high yield... probably refer to this book if u need more information.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2017This book shines in reteaching everything I forgot about biochemistry for STEP 1. The outline style of writing does not detract from the book's ability to teach from the ground up. Please note that if you are looking for help memorizing small details about diseases, you would be better off spending time with FIRSTAID's tables. On several occasions I found that information was lacking, but this may be intentional on the part of the editors/authors to only present high yield information.
The online practice questions are NOT board style, they are overly simplistic and will only test your knowledge of keywords and COMPLETE/stereotypical disease presentations. Additionally, in spite of what the book's introduction suggests, there is only one way of taking the practice questions (random order from the whole databank).
Having an online copy of the book is nevertheless excellent, and the clinical key web site is well designed and highly functional.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2016This is a great resource in addition to First Aid when studying for Step 1 (or any biochem test). The list format and notes in the margins make it a relatively easy read.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2010Lippincott's illustrated review is too wordy. This is what I need to prepare for the boards. good charts and short, concise bullet-pointed contents makes review fast and easy.
con: costs too much for a 150 page book.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2014Product arrived on time. I did not use it much during my biochemistry course but it was helpful at times when I was searching for answers.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2013To be honest, I'm not a fan of the board review series with the exception of this book. As you know biochem is one of those subjects that can stand alone or be incorporated into other subjects. With the vast amount of biochem that is needed for step 1 I thought they did a great job or organizing and explaining the material. I found it very helpful
