Looks okay to me. Make sure you get the actual book and not the study guide. However, you won't need to get the most up-to-date version, especially for an introductory undergraduate text.

I'd also recommend not buying the most up-to-date, new version of the book either. As you're only in high school, that won't be a book you'd need for college at least till your second or third year. It might be a bit on the advanced side, without the necessary underlying foundations in cellular biology, biochemistry and genetics (molecular).

I'm not one for discouraging an interested soul however, so I would buy a used, older version off Amazon or something to peruse at your leisure and if you hit on something you don't understand and really want too (and can't wait till you get there in college) ask around here or check out Wikipedia (which despite the groans of old folks, is a great starting place for information gathering--Take heed though, its a starting point only, not a definitive source).
