Great But by Kareem Eid  4 Stars
June 29, 2009
a great review with full indepth but concise coverage, the cardilogy chapter is uptodate which is critical, the endocrine chapter as well has a lot of myths revoked so it is less confusing now, the tables of med interactions at the end of each chapter is ok but need more care (list of side effects the important ones are not there)

Required reading by Jessica L. Morel (Hartford, CT USA) 4 Stars
October 17, 2008
Our school of course required this book, its not bad. I'm in an independant study program and I found it a little difficult to find the material we were required to look up. I'm not sure if that was the book or the instructors though. Best of luck studying :o)

Excellent review by Madhav Lavu (Bronx,NY) 5 Stars
October 11, 2008
I bought this book after i bought the MKSAP. I think its much better than MKSAP. It is very readable and gives you a good summary of what you need to know without going through all the painful studies that you would normally read through in a standard text book.For residents I think its the best book.I will update this review as and when I start answering the board questions.
