Review:

"Lecture Notes on Molecular Medicine...belonging to the very successful Lecture Notes series, it is the ultimate 'designer publication' - snappy and brimming with illustrations from the desktop publishers' identikit." Molecular Medicine Today

"It is concise, well written, clearly illustrated and precisely laid-out." St George's Hospital Medical Gazette

"In conclusion, a well written and very readable book. I would suggest that for first and second MB students, who are learning from first principles, the book should be used alongside a more detailed text. But for higher years and postgraduates it is an excellent revision aid." 3rd Year Medical Student - St Mary's Medical School Gazette

Published Reviews of Second Edition

"The 'Lecture Notes' series of books, famous for their concise approach to complex subjects, is very popular amongst students.

...The presentation and delivery of information is good, with an emphasis on brevity.

...the 2nd edition is definitely a big improvement on the 1st, with the authors seemingly responding to reader comments and criticisms.

...Anyone actively looking for a new book on molecular medicine should consider this title."
