Book Reviews of Genes IX
Book Review: Confusing and inaccurate text
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this book to accompany a graduate-level molecular biology course, and found it extremely unhelpful. Midway though the course I stopped reading the book entirely in favor of depending on information from the lectures. I regret spending the money. The major problems with the book are:
- There are MANY obvious typos and editing errors. This is especially concerning because as a student you depend on your textbook for accurate information; you don't want to memorize a typo.
- The figures are vague, incompletely labeled, and often misleading.
- The organization of the text is disjointed. Essential detailed are completely left out of some discussions, only to be mentioned a few pages later. This makes it very difficult to form a coplete understanding of the topic.
One advantage of this book is that at the end of each chapter it gives a comprehensive list of reviews and papers from scientific literature that you can use to supplement your reading. If you are unfortunate enough to have to depend on this book for your learning of molecular biology, I would recommend doing this.
