Summary: 5th edition (paperback) superb!
Comment: Using Stryer as your sole text is like walking through thick concrete; the chapters are incomprehensible without extreme effort and many cups of hot coffee. Gumport has provided a point by point outline of the concepts locked within the dry text's prose and provided useful application exercises with explanations that far exceed the textbooks' approach. This might be a waste of money for lab rat science geeks, but for those of us with outside lives, this is a real asset!
Read the outline in the study guide, take the pretest, read the chapter in the text (if you can) thinking about the outlined points, try to work the chapter questions, then go to the study guide again and finish your chapter understanding. You can't make it in your classes without reading Stryer, but if you can't grasp what Styer is presenting, you are wasting your time and your prof's time. The Companion is not a complete solution by itself to "getting" biochemistry, but it helps impart Stryer's solid foundation of the field on those of us who are willing to try. Without it, my A's would have been C+s. It was worth the money to me, although it was hard to get through Amazon. Make sure they are showing you the 5th edition when you order!

Summary: Stryder's Study Guide
Comment: The multiple choice is very helpful in studying for the exam. The book outlines in depth questions on specific reactions. This is great for piecing everything together.
Rating: 1
Summary: An utterly useless supplement.
Comment: This book follow's Stryer's book parallel and tells you "Next, Stryer desribes...and then he describes...and then he goes a little deeper into..." It is rather ridiculous that this book is at least as thick as the main text... DO NOT BUY THIS. It is completely unnecessary to own, apart from answering the few problems from Strye's book.
