Customer Reviews

Great Supplemental Text

I found this book to be very helpful while taking my college level biochemistry course. Although it seems basic, it is a great review of the material involved in biochemistry. I found it to be a great supplemental study guide in addtion to the course textbook.

Very helpful

I used Biochemistry for Dummies to study for the ACS Biochemistry final at the University of Mississippi. Before the exam, I border-lined a high "B" and a low "A". Using this book, I was able to study more efficiently in a shorter amount of time. Moore does an excellent job of explaining some of the most complex concepts of biochemistry in layman's terms. I ended up scoring well enough on the exam to score an "A" in my class. This book sums up a biochemistry text book in roughly 300 easy-to-read/skim pages. I didn't even open my text book. It was extremely helpful.
