Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Outstanding single sourceThis was my primary review source for the boards and I scored >98th percentile. It is as if there are questions from the boards taken straight out of this book.

Rating: - Definitive Neurological surgery board reviewAn excellent book for my residents to read,think,answer and read again.I would recommend the book to any resident in Neurological surgery as a supplement. More single best responses would be nice if it could be added in the next edition.

Read More Rating:  - Hardly definitive or comprehensiveFrom the perspective of having taken the boards this past weekend, I am grateful that I did not use this as my definitive source. I was initially drawn to this text because it was prose instead of outline form (Citow). The authors of this work have yet to master the concept of a paragraph. The information is presented as one relentless fact after another without any form of cohesion. Some topics are covered well, but the majority hardly cover the material with the depth needed to answer questions ... Read More
