Rating:  - The MCAT Biology Book
This is an awful book for MCAT preparations, especially if you've taken a decent Biology course in college. There are by no means enough practice problems, maximum 10-11 questions at the end of each chapter, the material is far too simply described, and sparse. Reading a textbook is far more useful.
Rating: - Lacking....
This MCAT review text is deeply lacking compared to other preparation texts on the market. The presentation of the material is very rough and difficult to follow. For those who enjoy studying colorful text with diagrams, figures, bold keywords etc.. look elsewhere, this is not your book. (Might I suggest Examkrackers MCAT Biology (Examkrackers) Aside from the presentation, the quality and depth of the material is insufficient to be used as your sole guide in preparing for MCAT Biology. I daresay my middle school "Life Science" textbook contained more depth on some topics. Considering the price and the quality of alternate preparation texts, I cannot recommend this particular book.
Rating:  - just enough
I can't even tell you how many books I have purchased that claim they offer only info. relavant to the MCAT and nothing more...in which they wind up giving you all the superfluous stuff that *may* be on the MCAT.
Well, this book is different. It cuts out all the extra mumbo jumbo and tells you like it is. Want to know about Glycolysis, fermentation, Kreb's cycle and the ETC all in 2 hours memorized? Buy this book...it has a unique way of explaining things that other books, and professors, didn't know how to do. I found myself relating difficult concepts together much easier in this book than any other.
I think it's great and it has boosted my confidence in the material for the MCAT.
Rating: - Hello!
Thank you for all your hard work! This book was great!
Rating:  - Concise review of Biology and Verbal portions of the MCAT
This book covers all the basics of biology. For someone like me, who had a lacking undergrad bio course, this book helps. The diagrams throughout the book are very helpful because they give you another way of remembering the concepts. This book is limited with testing questions, and is better used as a study aid. All in all, this is great for reviewing bio, but it should not be your only source of studying for the MCAT bio section. I have not yet looked at the verbal section, but it looks promising.
