Not perfect, but not bad either by Noneofyobusiness  4 Stars
April 09, 2009
I misplaced a copy of this book and am ordering it again because I think it is worthwhile enough to do so.
As some have said, this isn't a bunch of Board style questions; it does however bring up the types of information to mind that you will most likely need for Boards. The quality of the fill-in-the-blank questions varies, but I haven't seen any type of question book that I couldn't say the same about.
The last few chapters are the best, overviews with mult. choice questions. Perhaps a book completely like that would be better, but if you want something to make you follow along with the hard-to-read Henry, I don't know of a better alternative.

Not a good review for the CP boards! by Mohammad Haija (M.Haija)  1 Stars
February 21, 2009
The biggest problem in this review book is that most of the Qs are fill in the blanks Q format, which is completely different than the Q format in your CP boards, and even they are harder the MCQs.
The second problem is that the explanation on these Qs are not adequate at all in my opinion.
I do not recommend buying this book, save your your book for something else.

Best complement for Henry's by Enrique Rodriguez Borja (Alcoy, Spain) 4 Stars
May 29, 2008
I find the new Review Manual the best complement for "Henry's..." moreover if you want to prepare for a "pathologist" exam or even if you only want to improve your lab skills. The Review Manual focuses on the most important things you have to know and remember of each area (Microbiology, Hematology, Biochemistry...)
Very useful for a student. Remember, it's not a real study guide but if you are capable of complete all the units and answer all the question you will have learned a lot about Clinical Lab and you will have developed a kind of "mental guide"!!
Drawbacks...Better explanations about the answers in the multiple choice questions...and of course, more, more, questions!!!

Henry's Q&A Review Book is good by Nicholaus J. Hilliard (Birmingham, AL United States) 4 Stars
March 03, 2006
The Review Manual to the 20th Edition of Henry's Clinical Diagnosis and Management by Laboratory Methods is a good review of the book. It does, however, like most books have problems that may be addressed in future editions.
The biggest problem is that Clinical pathology boards usually get most of the questions from Henry's or Robbins pathology books with a multiple choice type format. The only problem with this book is that it has fill in the blank type questions which are more difficult and doesnt offer a differential in which to think about. That is the weakness of the book in that the explanations are not involved and their is no differential thinking that you would have with multiple choices. For example why is the answer B and not A with explanations.
The book does cover Henry's which in of itself is a feat. Henry's is difficult to read and much of the technical jargon is not explained so the Q&A book reflects some of these shortcomings.

not a real study guide by A. Richards (Jax, FL)  2 Stars
November 01, 2005
I had completely misunderstood how this book was written and laid out. I had thought that it would be a companion to Henry's, with more explanations, case studies, outlines and exam questions. But in fact it has none (or exceedingly little) of those things. 434 of its 467 pages are blank questions with the page numbers from Henry written in so you can look up the answer and write it into the space provided. In my coursework, I've already written and organized hundreds of index cards, outlining the chapters of Henry. This book adds nothing extra to my understanding.
The three appendices at the end are interesting...path questions based on slides, smears, parasites. Math review questions and one comprehensive practice exam. But that's far too small a section for me to spend $52 on.
This book is good for anyone who wants to pay an outrageous sum for what amounts to a very fancy and flashy notebook.
