Oh dear. Sounds like the science textbooks Richard Feynman had to proofread - where stuff is simplified and then made 'relevant' and 'interesting' and just so wrong...
What is the Octet Rule, anyway? Is that the one about wanting 8 electrons in your outer shell to be a happy well-adjusted atom?
The molecular biology in A-level bio is fab, but I would say that as it conned me into spending the next decade on it! I have a very readable textbook (but heavy as in 800 pages of A4) if you want some cool bedtime reading. I have some small ones on viruses and development but I'm not sure if they're comprehensible without the general bio knowledge.
