 Rating:  - Not a good idea to get this book!First of all, most medical schools require cell biology before marticulation. If you don't have it as an undergraduate, you only get a week or two of it. For a class that is so short, this book is way over the top. It is long and detailed. It really is a cell bio text in bullet points more than anything, and I am even more critical of the histology portion. It lacks in pitures, which is an absolute must for histology! In the long run, this book is going to become more of a burden than anything. ... Read More Rating:  - Better than Kaplan's review for Histology.A must have. Really important and understandable facts in the light of USMLE. I'm reading some other books on this subject too, and I have inferred that this one is very good.

It was not pertinent to the material covered on the USMLE or in microbio. I would probably recommend finding another book to study with (in our school we studied more hitsology than cell bio, so it depends on your curriculum). Rating: - Good for class- too long for the BoardsIf you are a starting MS1 this is a good book to use for class as it has alot of good detail condensed in an outline format. It comes with a CD that has been quite helpful. However, when it comes to the Boards is just too big of a book for a subject that is not high yield- think about it- this book is just as big as BRS Path. Do you really have that much time to read a low yield subject? No. So instead for Histo- I recommend using a smaller book to review for the boards: I recommed Road Maps: Histo as ... Read More
