Poorly organized by J. Heathman (Houston)  1 Stars
March 12, 2008
Micro Made Simple is a much better book. This can't be used for much more than a quick reference because everything is spread out way too much. Too hard to study for a class or Step 1.

Not on par with the BRS series by Karl A. Schultz (Houston, TX)  2 Stars
March 16, 2006
I was very disappointed with this BRS. I have collected most BRS's for MS-1s and have been impressed with the thorough but concise manner in which information is conveyed.
In contrast, micro is outdated, redundant, disorganized and generally not useful.
The one high point of this book is that the immuno section is good. It helped me greatly with our half semester immuno course. Otherwise I would have given it only 1 star.
Unfortunately, I cannot recommend a better resource.

Good review, great questions by Diego Maselli (Guatemala City, Guatemala)  4 Stars
June 05, 2004
This book has covers all the necessary topics, including immunology. But the best part is that it has a total of 416 questions!! This is a great source of practice questions for the USMLE. Still, it could use more pictures and diagrams. Just for the questions its worth the money.

Best Book Around  5 Stars
May 27, 2003
If you are used to the Pathology and Physiology BRS style, this is a very good book. Although Micro Made Simple is rated really high and so is the Lange book, this book did it for me, while those did not. It is detailed and simple at the same time; the outline format is easier to read than the full text format. I recommend this book to whoever is taking a Micro class or for the boards. The best part about it is that it covers immunology too!
