 Great Service September 23, 2008

 Too vague. September 19, 2008
This book is entirely too vague. I would have liked a bit more factual information. There is a lot of fluff to sort through to get to the meat of the text!

The book was exactly as described and the shipping was quick (I took the slowest way and they still got it out fast).
What I wanted was a quick reference to all the body systems that could be in a "small" book. If you are in medicine you understand that... After a couple of semesters we all have one arm that is overdeveloped from carrying those massive text books...ha
It's a good resourse

This book is entirely to wordy ! Most folks in my class just used the ppt (power point) handed out by the instructor and scored as high on the tests as those of us who bought the book and read it.
The book has GREAT information if you can find it amongst all the extra useless information.
Hope this helped.
