goljan review book review  
this book is amazing. it's tough for some to get used to the outline format, but once you do, you realize that it covers everything that's important in a very organized, readable fashion. there are good applicable pics and charts, along with big margins to write extra notes in. i wish i used it during my first year of medical school (i got it in the beginning of 2nd year).

complete and detailed... just like medical school should be.  
I've heard some say this book is too detailed for a quick review, and they would rather stick with FA. They must of missed the memo that in medical school you have to know everything and know it in detail. This book is the real deal. If you know these concepts and can work them from a few angles you will surely do well on the boards. If you just read FA you're in trouble. This book should be mandatory!!! It might take a while to get through some chapters but don't fret, stay persistent and it will all come together. This is BY FAR the best book for review, read it a couple times and do a bunch of questions and you're set.

great path review  
I bought Goljan's RR after having listened to his audio files throughout my M2 year. When it came time to review path for boards I realized I didn't like BRS path. RR has colored pictures, 2 tests at the end of the book (didn't do them, i was using a qbank online by then) and the outline format is great. The wide margins with notes was what I liked best (lots of room for me to write too). Definitely look at a copy before choosing a path review book!

Very thorough, but...  
...don't try to use this for your pathology review if you are only allotting yourself a month TOTAL for board review, and you haven't been through it before to highlight the key information. It is far too much material to get through. I spent 9 half days (4-5 hours each day) on pathology and came out of it feeling like I hadn't retained anything due to the density of the book. I think it's EXCELLENT and very well-organized, but it's far too much if this is your first complete pass through it. I ended up giving up and switching over to BRS Path because it was so much more concise. I did, though, go back through RR after reading BRS to look at images and read through the margin notes, which I found to be extremely helpful. I think for many people this will be a great resource because it's complete; you almost don't even need to read extra physio stuff! But for students who have limited time to prepare and/or who haven't read through the book during the course of the year, this may be too much.

Fantastic review of path  
Dense book but Goljan includes pretty much all the salient path you need to learn for the boards. A great adjunct to First Aid if you can handle it.
