 Rating:  - missing pagesAfter using the product a couple time, I realized that the book is actually missing whole chapters. In fact pages 25-56 are missing! I have used the book for my online class but luckly I purchased another book I use also. Rating:  - Not for meI've heard a lot of people talk about how good this book is so I decided to give it a try. I read the first 10 pages and wavered between finding parts of the book funny and annoying. By the end of it, the only thing I remembered was a rather bad joke and a picture of a bacterium wearing sunglasses. If that helps some people learn, then that's great. However, I failed to learn anything from the random jokes and poorly drawn pictures. Rating:  - A Good Mircro ReviewI purchased this book so that I could review for a micro class I took, it definitely does the job. It's not as in depth as a textbook, but I wanted a lighter review version and this delivers! Rating:  - This book has a sense of humorThis is a great text book for micro, the way it is written is very unique and helps you remember everything, great sense of humor put in to it, which also as a memory factor, I laugh a lot reading about bacteria or viruses, which i could never think is possible while you are studying micro, Bottom line is this is a great text book for micro Rating: - Great for Med StudentsThis book is great for understanding bugs from a clinical perspective. It is concise enough to read easily, and thorough enough for the boards. I don't personally utilize mnemonics, but if you are someone who does, you'll find this book loaded with them, as well pictures and other memory devices. I use Microcards to complement this text, and find that they work really well together.
