Average Customer Rating: 4.5 out of 5

1) What can you say about a textbook?   [Rating: 4 out of 5]
It was an ok book. Everything was outlined well enough, although some points could have used a bit more explanation & the definitions seemed a little clunky to memorize. Still, it was an invaluable learning tool in my biology class.

2) Great Biology book   [Rating: 4 out of 5]
This biology book has great practical concepts and provides detailed descriptions of biological processes. This book is ideal for a college level introductory course for Biology. Easy to read, the format of the concepts are easy to follow.

3) Best bio book ever!   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
This was my into to bio, and it is the best. I actually understood it ^.-!Good illustrations, a very good book.My teacher was great, which made all the difference.

4) Class   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Well, you either need it for your class or not. I do like this book though b/c the pictures in this one are alot more descriptive of what you're reading then most of my other text books. Plus, the reviews in the back of each chapter actually make you think as opposed to just copying definitions for regurgitation of facts later.

5) Good introductory biology text   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
This is a great text for anyone taking an introductory college-level biology course. The writing style is simple and easy to understand, unlike many other science textbooks. Despite being very easy to read, it contains a good amount of information.
