### ⭐⭐ Not Good
*by C***D on May 31, 2017*

This is not a very good book. When I started to read these Very Short Introduction books I found them terrrific. Lately I’ve been finding them rather poor. Not sure yet if it is just a coincidence, or if the level of these brief books has been getting gradually much worse than it used to be. They have released a huge number of them. Perhaps this is the reason for the poor editing. The English in this one about molecular biology is truy horrible. Almost the whole book is written in the passive voice, even if in most cases it would not have been necessary at all. Some chapters are relatively fine. Some others are so full of unexplained biology jargon that become basically unreadable. It is as if perhaps one of the authors (the not-so-bad one) wrote some chapters and the other one wrote the others. Leaving aside the annoying jargon-infested and passive voice infested language, the main issue is that it is hard to imagine what readers exactly the authors had in mind. Since there are so many unexplained terms and concepts used throughout the book, this little book seems to assume readers with a solid knowledge of organic chemistry and citology, at the very least.
