I have bio books from Exam Krackers and TPR course. The TPR book seems more detailed than the EK book. Is it too much detail?

Which book is preferable?

People have done well with both, read a little of both and pick the one that you like the best. You should be OK with whatever you end up choosing
 
EK and Princeton Review also contradict each other.

For example, EK says not to worry about enzyme kinetics (Vmax, Km, etc.), but Princeton Review has several questions about enzyme kinetics.

Hmm???
 
If you have a weak bio background read EK bio 3-4 times cover to cover. Then dive into TPR. The section on genetics for TPR is really great, imo. The section on genetics in ek is awful..
