 NEVER RECIEVED BOOK! June 18, 2008
0 out of 10 found this review helpful
I ordered my book a month before my summer class was to begin. When I ordered my book, I was still living on campus and I would have been able to just walk across campus and paid $130 for the book. However, I saw the same book online for $105 so I decided to order it from here. I never recieved the book, and I had to file a claim, and nothing ever came of it yet. I was very hesitant to order something online, and this experience just prooved that I was right about how this stuff works. I just gave the seller $105 and I got absolutely nothing out of it except a day wasted driving back down to school to get the book for class. I never should have ordered from her!

This text is very helpful with its readable language and diagrams. It provides a sufficient review of basic biology and is written so that one could technically skip chapters and still understand the topics. The text's website and CD provide excellent review tests, flashcards, and animations.
However in some sections and chapters, the author has not organized the flow very well, especially the immunity chapters, and the text goes a little too deep for a 1-term college microbiology class. Its strengths outway the negatives enough to give it 5 stars.
