Glencoe Biology, Student Edition (Glencoe Science) Reviews:
Biology text review 
2005-01-09 - This book is one of the worst biology books I have ever read. The descriptions are very confusing and the questions at the end of the sections are meaningless. I would not recommend this book for high school biology when there are so many better texts on the market.
Good book for college biology I and II 
2004-09-18 - I had to use this book for my college I and II classes. I must say the book is very complete. Sometimes written on a high level but then again some topics of biology are hard in general like genetics and animal physiology. For really good test preparation questions, I was recommended to also get:
The Ultimate Study Guide for Biology: Key Review Questions and Answers with Explanations (Volume 1, Volume 2 and Volume 3). These three guides made me life much easier because the questions showed me what to expect on my actual college exams.
useless textbook 
2003-11-21 - the main problem with this book is that you need a huge vocabulary to understand what its talking about. This book is not adapted for high school students. I was astonished how long and pointless the descriptions are. Although the labs are very good, it took my class several readings to understand the material. The main problem with this book is that its not written with kids in mind. I liked the materials at the back of the book (such as, how to use a microscope) as these are very useful, however I am not impressed with the contents of the book itself. It is extremely heavy and bulky and contains much unneded information. Although it has its' pros, there are too many cons.
Interesting and Fun to Read 
2000-04-22 - This book really helped me with AP Bio and i really got into it! It focused on all the important information and gave great examples! its a new edition and is updated. go out and buy this book, if you read it thoroughly it will give you ultimate preparation or a good background in Biology!
