Customer Reviews

Pretty good help for a struggling bio student!

I purchased this book last year on my friend's advice. For certain areas of study, I found it helpful in explaining terms and processes, but at other times I found in undetailed and in lack of substantial information. Before all my tests, I cross-referenced my textbook and this book, and it was usually helpful in these situations. Don't buy this book and think that it's gonna substitute your textbook, though! It just makes Bio a little more student-friendly by using cute terms, puns, and cartoons. It was very helpful with the digestive system and the complicated process or photosynthesis. Overall, it's a somewhat usefull book--but not the best.

Good for a reveiw or intro

This book can be used as an introduction to biology, or serve as a review. It is written in an easy to understand way that is suitable for all ages. It is a great companion to your Biology textbook. My only compliant is that it doesn't go into detail about many subjects it covers(e.g. endocrine system, nervous system). You just get the basics from this book.
