 - 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. Rating:  - AWESOME! A must-have for surviving Neuro!If you're a medical student taking Neuro, get this book ASAP! At first, I thought it wouldn't be useful because it is so lengthy (400+ pages) compared to the other books in the series. However, it turned out to be an absolute lifesaver while I was taking the course. The neuroanatomy course at my school was very unorganized and poorly taught and our required textbook was way too verbose to be helpful. This book is very well organized and very thorough for a review book- you really don't even need a textbook, just a neuroanatomy atlas. Rather than getting bogged down in trivial minutiae, this book presents all the basics you need to know to pass neuro. It also has hundreds of review questions to test your knowledge as you go. I couldn't possibly have organized my study of neuroanatomy without this book- and thanks to Dr. Fix, I actually managed an A in Neuro! The only disadvantage is that, due to its length, it's probably overkill for board review. I'd suggest purchasing High Yield Neuroanatomy by the same author for a quick-and-dirty review before the boards, then testing yourself via the questions in this book. Rating: - Taking the USMLE? GET IT!Better than his lectures, you get the answers to many of the boards neuro questions. A quick, yet jam-packed review. Pay attention to the diagrams...they pay off in points on the USMLE. page 2 of 2
