Reviews from Amazon users, collected at the time the book is getting published on UniedVRG. It can be related to shiping or paper quality instead of the book content:

⭐ This is the best biology textbook I had ever read. I am a medical doctor,
I have a degree in biology, my twin girls are taking biology in college and
asked me to tutor them. I was so impressed with this textbook I bought one
for myself. It is very well written, the concepts were easy to understand
and the extra in-depth explanations and quizzes provided excellent
reinforcement of the information being taught. I highly recommend this
textbook.

⭐ The content of this book is generally wonderful; however, the binding of
the book is not well done and can tear off and leave a less useful book.
For the price of the book, I expect better construction. In addition,
although this is a general malpractice across the industry of this type of
book, I expect citations for claims. Yes, that might add a hundred pages of
references and lots of superscript numbers, but it’s the twenty first
century and I expect to be able to check claims and dive deeper into topics
that interest me which I can’t do with books like this. This team should
step up to the plate and lead science out of the dark ages of simply
asserting things and appealing to authority with a preface page of hundreds
of scientific reviewers and instead linking to standardized doi.org website
links for all claims.

⭐ I liked that the book was new & it said it came with a access code for the
online work,but when we received it-there was no access code & the emails
between us they said it said that not all books come with the access code,
but we didn’t see it and without the code the book was worthless too us.

⭐ I received this book today and the binding seam was apart. The pages in
the back of book are falling out.

⭐ Just because everything on the page would make you assume that a NEW
textbook comes with an access code it DOES NOT. With used and rental books
“there’s no guarantee” of an access code…. BUT there’s a possibility. So,
with a new book (since it says NOTHING) you would assume it’d come with
one. NOPE. Don’t buy into the false advertising if you’re looking for the
access code with the book.

⭐ I don’t know why I can’t download this textbook that I spent $80 on, but
it’s incredibly inconvenient.The kindle app on my mac is garbage and the
search function won’t work, so basically this textbook is useless on my mac
now. I tried opening the book on my third device when I discovered that it
can only be opened on two devices. I desperately needed this textbook for
an exam so I un-downloaded it from both of my devices, deleted the apps,
and restarted the devices, and it still wouldn’t let me open the book on my
third device! I paid for a service and am being denied. At least let me
move one of my “copies” to a new device! It’s a good textbook but this is
ridiculous. A complete scam. I basically paid $80 for one copy that hardly
works (btw, it’s terrible if you use it on your phone app. The print is too
small and the picture graphics always glitch so I can’t read the
commentary)Just buy a hard copy and save yourself the pain. You won’t have
the search feature (which is the only good part about the digital version)
but if you have i-devices it won’t work on them anyways.

⭐ When I first got this book it seemed huge. After reading it I have gained
so much knowledge and it does not look so big anymore.

⭐ This book provides immense details for every biology topic one could think
of. The illustrations in this book are incredible and the content is easily
digestible. Although this is a pricey textbook, it is worth it if you plan
on studying Biology in college or if you have to take multiple Biology
courses. Love and appreciate this book so much, especially when my
professors do not cover all the materials. Arrived fast and in great
condition.

⭐ Was expecting a book in new condition. To be fare I have never rented a
book before, I’ve always purchased new so this is a first for me. Maybe my
expectations were to high for a book rental. The book’s binder is in pretty
rough shape, physically broken on each end but held together in the middle.
Some pages are frayed towards the beginning and pages XI through XIVI kind
of stick because of the page corners being bent in the bottom corner almost
crushed. These pages are so thin “as most are of this type of book are”
that it makes it difficult to separate the stuck pages. It is however
functional. No content is missing from what I can see. If it will hold up
through the year is the question.The 3 star rating is based on the physical
condition of the used book’ not the content, I want that to be clear!

⭐ I bought the paper version for two classes in biology (I really like paper
better than e-versions). It is a book that is often used by biology
programs, and this was the 11th edition. I liked it so much that I bought
an e-version so that I could have it as a reference book wherever I take my
tablet, or my phone. I use the Kindle App on my tablet and phone, and I am
good to go. I love the book, but it will break your toe if you drop the
book on it. I have no regrets about either purchase.
