This book clarifies and simplifies highly technical science writing into completely comprehensible concepts without "dumbing down" the text. It's a great review for those who are familiar with Microbiology, and a wonderful summary for those who are just learning it. Microbiology Demystified is a great investment for any science student!
Rating: - good as a supplement to your textbook
I was terrified of microbiology heading in, it seemed like it would be so difficult.

Rating: - Decent but limited
A nice overview that skims the surface pretty well. The only major downside to it is that it really targets people who are going into the medical field. It seems to ignore any other applications of microbiology other than in health (e.g. environmental applications).
Rating: - Quite Helpful
This book was very helpful. I didn't do so great in Microbiology and needed some extra help. This book explains concepts in a much easier way than my textbook. I also purchased the book by Barron's titled Microbiology the Easy Way which helped. With these two books together Micro was easy.
Rating: - office resource
I purchased this text to help review for the FNP examination. It is a quick-read resource, definately one to review with before jumping in to the medical books and journals. I would strongly recommend it for your medical library. It proves to be a good spring board for study.
