Summary: Not for me!
Comment: I have not had the luck of being taught by dr. weaver and maybe due to this reason i had trouble with the book. as soon as i read about 15 pages, i realized that i could not...summarize what i just read! the book does it for you, but even after reading the book summary, i still had the feeling 'I DONT KNOW WHAT I JUST READ!' I had used a histology book that gave me a similar feeling. All my problems were solved simply by getting a different histology book.
This book does, at times, go into greater level of detail than alberts, but if you are like me, you will be no smarter after reading the book than you were before.
A preview of this book may not be enough to know whether this book is made for you or not, so make sure you have a couple of days on your return policy in case it doesnt work for you.

Summary: Great for upperclassmen and graduate students
Comment: I had the good fortune of taking Gene Expression from Professor Weaver himself and have to say that this is a fantastic book used in a fantastic class. I'm halfway through Medical School headed toward a residency in Medical Genetics and I still pull this book out from time to time to clarify salient points that I have forgotten through time. This is a great book for students with a strong background in molecular biology.
I might also add that Professor Weaver is a really nice guy, so it's good karma to buy his book. :)

Summary: Great for the GRE and introductory graduate courses
Comment: The approach of this book is based on experimental data rather than the deduced facts. I have tride many books to prepare me for the GRE subject text in Biochem/cell/Molecular biology. However, many of the books were concentrating on plain facts rather than on experimental data. Some of the GRE question especially the longer and difficult ones are not concerened with memorized facts. Rather, they present to you experimental data in the form of graphs and charts and ask you questions based on them. Of all the books that I sampled this is the only one that provided the necessary levels of understanding for me to tackle such questions. This is also true in a life of a beginning graduate student who is required to make sense out of graphs, numbers and charts in per reviewed journal articles. This book is most useful for such individuals. For lower level undergraduates this book is best when used with in conjunction with another introductory text book such as Molecular Cells biology by by lodish.
