One of my favorite books in this series. It covered every question that I had on my shelf examination in no time flat and it was an excellent read. In fact, I read through it so quickly that it really left me with more than enough time to read through other books during the rotation. You will find that it rarely introduces a topic that is far fetched, and it will never leave you with too little information about the topic being presented. The questions at the end of each chapter were well thought out and inquisitive. It gives a clinical spin on every topic, and it covers all of the "most commons" very well. Make no mistake, this is one of the best in the series and should be used frequently by med students trying to pass their shelf exam.
