tell me why i shouldn't shelf this on goodreads after a year of agonizing over this subject.

anyway this is a good start for biochemistry because they lay out concepts much better and more comprehensible than the other textbooks (Garrett, Lehninger, etc). this would be the best textbook to read for basic foundations (based on my experience), and once you get a good grasp it would be best to seek out others.

I survived biol403 :)
Some interesting graphics, like the skeleton in the first chapter (it's very diva)
A couple of interactive puzzles to solve, like identifying the organelles, was pretty fun.
E. coli is actually pretty interesting??
Kind of dry, even though biochemistry occurs in aqueous settings ??
Did not appreciate the childbirth example, I left that chapter feeling traumatized.
ATP ATP ATP ATP
Overall 3/5 stars because I kind of got bored sometimes with the dryness and would rather be reading something more fun but like the diva skeleton compensates a bit.

Student-friendly.

The fact that I’m failing the class has nothing to do with this book, honestly. It’s really student friendly in my opinion. Very clear to understand.

Great for pre-Uni or first years. Gives a general understanding of biochemistry. I think I need to come back to read how they derive equations e.g. Michaelis-Menten XD
