"'Tortora' as it is affectionately known is a clear and colourful book that many students use as their core physiology text. The anatomy/histology side is slightly basic but a good starting point"
"The size and price is daunting but it is well worth it. Unlike other pathology texts this is still useful in the clinical years for weird and wonderful conditions."
"Gives a good overview but doesn't tell you all you need to know. Still it is a good quick reference that helps pull all different aspects of diseases together. Good colour diagrams/photos"
"A good concise reference - In fact all the books in this series are superb! They have summaries at the start of each chapter and the layout makes them very easy to read. Diagrams are also good (B/W)"
"A great reference for in clinic. Tells you what you need to know and in my opinion is more useful than the mini Kumar and Clark for practical information"
"Top-notch! You won't find a book that explains cardiology any better. More suited to clinical students (or interested pre-clinical) due to level of detail."
"An easily readable immunology book with nice diagrams. Makes one of the harder subjects in medicine a lot easier, also helpful if intercalating in Biomed Sci."
"I wouldn't worry about the mini version of this book unless you get it free! You will need the big version by the 3rd year anyway. Not alwasy easy to find something quickly when on the wards."
"A good book for third year Obs and Gynae. Very well explained with lovely colour diagrams. Very useful in clinic for a quick and easy reference - Looks nice too!"
