Title: The Worst Advanced Genetics Book I've Ever Read
Review: Rumor has it that Oxford Press was paid by thepound for this text. The extremely large font (14pt?) is extremely annoying unless you really enjoy flipping pages. The index is the worst ever, the references are scanty, and the text is long on illustrations and short on substance. In fact, the illustrations are the only thing that save this book, which reduces many complex molecular mechanisms into simple succinct paradigms, completely heedless of accuracy. The mere mention of this book in my medical school lecture hall illicited a long series of groans and sighs. Buy it only if you absolutely have to!
