 Great Textbook Dec 07, 2008
By N. Simon
"ExoSHunter"
This textbook is packed with details, but I disagree with those that feel that this is a bad thing. I felt that this book was an excellent supplement to what I learned in class. Besides, it's molecular biology. The details are important and can't just be cut out of the book...

 Detailed Look at Molecular Cell Biology Dec 06, 2010
By Becca S.
This is a great book for someone who has already had a good introduction to Cell Biology and has an understanding of the cell. But for anyone who is using this as their textbook for a course in Cell biology should be prepared to be overwhelmed by the level of detail. The biggest problem of this book is that Biology is supposed to tell a story, where concepts can be outlined and then details fill in the picture. But with this book, the general concepts are somewhere in the middle of the chapter or at the end of each section and so you have to do a lot of page-flipping. If you want to know about a certain organelle, say, you have to go through several chapters in the book in order to really get a clear picture of it. There is supplementary material on the website than anyone can sign up for, but sometimes it does not correspond to the book and animations for pathways and mechanisms are sparse. Terms that are in bold often do not have definitions in the back of the book, and the index is not complete. Sections may be missing important diagrams that could potentially help students. However, the questions at the end of each chapter are helpful so it's not a complete trainwreck.
However, if you are willing and able to put in the extra work to try and decipher it, it could be a good reference or a supplement for a less detailed textbook.

 excellent cell biology text Nov 06, 2009
By Shawn Foti
This text covers all of the major current topics in cell biology. Great organization and presentation of topics well suited for graduate students.
I would recommend to any student studying cell biology at the graduate level.

Redonculous Oct 04, 2009
By Mr. Tom
"megalodon"
The book is amazing, it provides detailed descriptions of concepts without losing the reader. The figures and descriptions next to the figures and their use in the text help the reader to remember by seeing the visual and then reading 2 times, once in the text and a shorter description next to the figure. The set up of the chapters is nice with well written overviews and a layout of where the writer is trying to take the reader. The medical relevance sections are intriguing and tie the concept very well into a real world example. The online animations, videos, and podcasts are nice. More offerings would be nice and possibly more detail in the videos would be helpful since the viewer can pause and rewind to see the video again.

Good detailing Jun 04, 2009
By Mariam
"Mariam <3"
This text goes into the right amount of detail necessary for a college course. The diagrams are well labeled and easy to understand, most of the time even without reading the accompanying literature that is within the text. The questions at the end of the chapter focus on major parts of each one. Also, each chapter has small sections dedicated to medical examples when relevant, which is a plus for premedical students.
