Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Disappointed
I was disappointed after buying this review book for my Kindle and finding that you can't select the section you want to read from the table of contents and jump right to it. You have to scroll through page after page in order to get to the section you desire. Don't know if this can be fixed, but would be a huge improvement to the use of the book on the Kindle.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great for quick review
This book is great for clinical rotations. It's reasonably portable. The sections are easy to navigate so you can find the snippet of information that you need. I like the memory tips too.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Too lengthy
It's kind of good for review if someone has time but I think it's as not as good as the other First Aids. I like the Mnemonics to help jog my memory.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good summary but a bit pricey
Pretty good summary and add on resource for standard family medicine texts and question banks. The only downside is the price, which I think is a bit inflated because of the "first aid" name that everyone at the stage of requring board cert reviews is very comfortable with.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good review of material but no practice questions in the book
When I first saw the book, I was under the impression it had some practice questions to go along with the material. This is not true. There are no questions in the book and the information is provided in different chapters and arranged almost in an outline form with many charts to supplement the material. I do think it is important to do some study questions as preparation for the test but given that this is not the purpose of this book, I find it hard to fault it for the lack of questions. ...
