I'm a little confused as to why people say TBR is dense. I figured before actually getting the books that I would be doing a ton of reading, but I'm finding that even though the books have alot of pages (560 for physics 1 and 2), ALOT of those pages are dedicated to the passages and the lengthy solutions/explanations for all the passage questions. Then again I'm only just about to finish physics 1 so maybe whole 'TBR is dense' thing more of an issue with the Orgo/Chem/Bio books?

It's more of an issue with the biology books, I think. The biology book is over 800 pages long.

I haven't had too much trouble with the physics or chemistry books so far though.

Yeah, the physics is not dense.

The Ochem/Chem/Bio are dense. Physics just ads extra equations constantly. BR likes shortcut equations although they are typically unnecessary.

You haven't reached Bio II, have you? :laugh: Oh, and Orgo is pretty dense as well.
 
The bio books are dense, the others are perfect. I read both TBR bio and EK bio (TBR first), and it takes way way way longer to read TBR cover to cover for both books. However, I would still recommend it if you have time as it covers everything really great. Then just breeze through the EK bio 1 a day (like 30min per chapter). TBR bio was great.
 
I spend less time reading TBR bio than EK bio cause EK bio is just too condense that I have hard time remembering or learning.
