Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good IM book
This book is very good in terms of its simplicity and very well summarized contents



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - good book
Concise review with good enough details. Easy to read with well laid out design and print.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - What are you using it for
great book, just depends on what are you using it for,my specialty is not internal medicine, but taking the USMLE CK and step 3 entails much knowledge for internal medicine , this book is very useful and conclusive for this level of knowledge , perhaps the book might be inadequate for an internist who reads Harrison for breakfast :) LOL , so it all depends on your prospectives

the lay out is the favorite first aid lay out with a lot of tables (may be too much ! ) with the side margins ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Sweating the Boards
I got this boards review along with the John Hopkin's one.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great Review Book
I've been using this book for the past few weeks in conjunction with the new MKSAP 14 questions. Thus far just about everything the MKSAP has tested can be found in the book. Its very easy to read, high yield and very well priced. The only complaint is the index. Like all the rest of the First Aid series, its horrible. That aside, this book is a great find.
