Summary: Absolutely Terrible
Comment: I hated using this book. It's organized differently from the course I took, so our readings were little passages, often less than 4 pages, scattered throughout the book. This is possibly the worst textbook I've ever tried to read. The text is boring and hard to get through. Most of my friends agreed that it was really hard to get through more than a few pages at a time of this. I thought the subject matter was boring, and that was why it was so hard to read, but then I bought the Alberts book, for my next molecular biology course, and I realized the problem was the author of this book. I also found the diagrams and page layout less than user friendly.

Summary: Content good, organization bad
Comment: I like this book. There's a good amount of content, accompanied with excellent illustrations. However, the organization is pretty bad -- instead of describing processes such as transcription in a natural sequence, the authors jump around from one thing to another, making it hard to find things. The index isn't comprehensive enough, either.

one more caveat: my Cell Phys professor, who's a botanist, complained about the lack of coverage of plant cells, and he's right.

Rating: 2
Summary: Poorly Organized
Comment: Prof. Lodish obviously knows his Biology, but his textbook is very poorly organized. The amount of information thrown in each section is random and excessive at times, convoluting the fundamental concepts being introduced. The illustrations were very good in portraying the basic concepts, but the text was very poorly organized. Not recommended as a good intro text for Cell Biology, even at the late undergrad level.
