Written in a concise, flexible, outline format, this book is intended to cover topics most commonly tested on USMLE. Included are 300 to 500 review questions in the USMLE-style format, and a comprehensive examination. New to the revised Fourth Edition are completely updated content; questions written in vignette format; a page of color plates depicting staining methods; and more information on immunology, parasitology, and fungi.

 Rating:  - Poorly organizedMicro Made Simple is a much better book. This can't be used for much more than a quick reference because everything is spread out way too much. Too hard to study for a class or Step 1. Rating:  - Not on par with the BRS seriesI was very disappointed with this BRS. I have collected most BRS's for MS-1s and have been impressed with the thorough but concise manner in which information is conveyed. In contrast, micro is outdated, redundant, disorganized and generally not useful. The one high point of this book is that the immuno section is good. It helped me greatly with our half semester immuno course. Otherwise I would have given it only 1 star. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend a better ... Read More Rating:  - Good review, great questionsThis book has covers all the necessary topics, including immunology. But the best part is that it has a total of 416 questions!! This is a great source of practice questions for the USMLE. Still, it could use more pictures and diagrams. Just for the questions its worth the money. Rating: - truly useless booki just took the nbme shelf exam and i must say without reservation that this book was not very good. look to other review books if you want to study for the shelf or for the boards. Rating:  - Best Book AroundIf you are used to the Pathology and Physiology BRS style, this is a very good book. Although Micro Made Simple is rated really high and so is the Lange book, this book did it for me, while those did not. It is detailed and simple at the same time; the outline format is easier to read than the full text format. I recommend this book to whoever is taking a Micro class or for the boards. The best part about it is that it covers immunology too!
