 Rating:  - Just OKBRS is usually the go-to review book among those in my class, so I naturally purchased this book to prep for the neuro NBME. When I received it, I was surprised that it was heavier than other BRS books I had. It does hit the high points, but it kind of drones with A LOT of details that could have been left out of the final book. It does do its job but could definitely be shorter. Rating: - Many mistakesI only had time to use this review book the weekend before the board, so I did all of the questions and then read what I needed to brush up on. There were a LOT of miskeyed answers, and then some answers were just flat out wrong. Not a bad book, prepared me fairly well, but the process was frustrating because of all the mistakes. Rating: - Neuro that makes senseExcellent review as well as primary learning text. Very detailed but better than reading some textbook. Requires time though. I also have the high yield by Dr. Fix but I like this book more. Rating: - Good book but not an easy read!Even though this is a great book, it is not a great book for a beginner. Like most, I became interested in the BRS series after physiology, and I decided to use this book for neuroanatomy. This book is not as easy to read. It is extremely dense reading that is cut and dry. I found myself using the glossary in the back of the book every other sentence to look up terms used all through the book (ex: dysdiadochokinesia , ataxia, dystonia,etc). It makes reading each chapter very time consuming for ... Read More Rating: - A LOT of info to go throughIf you enjoy details and endless amounts of info, then this book is for you. It is also a good reference during neuro courses.
