 Rating: - Good bookI have only just started using this review but am quite impressed with it. This book was suggested to me by a resident I met as a 4th year while at an interview. I feel that it covers most if not all of the important topics tested on the ABSITE, and has very detailed easy to read explanations. Note that this is purely a Q and A book.

I think that it has a significant amount of material and covers many subjects well. There are some claims made by the author that I feel are still quite controversial. There were some errors as well, it seems like they were in a rush to get this out for the 2006 ABSITE. Overall, a decent source of questions/answers that covers a lot of ground. Somewhat time consuming. Some chapters much better than others.
