 Great Book, Bad Index October 17, 2008
B. Stephens (Sacramento, CA)
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I received this book about a week ago to supplement my studying for my Medical Immunology and Microbiology course. This has been terrific at helping to clarify the lectures that my professors give. The only problem that I've found is that the Index is not always correct in terms of page numbers. If you are looking for something and can't find it on the pages listed in the index, look a page before or after (usually after) the page listed and you should find it. Besides that, I'm really glad that I purchased this book.
Excellent Book June 7, 2009

I had Dr. Chamberlain as my infectious Disease instructor. He is able to make a difficult subject both interesting and entertaining. The format of the book allows for a complete understanding of how infectious microbes effect different organ systems. Together with the easy to undestand text and fantastic color pictures, it makes for one of the best medical microbiology book on the market. Do yourself a favor and do not pass up this book...you will not regret it.
Superior to "Made Ridiculously Simple" micro review book February 16, 2010
ML (KC, MO)
My Micro professor writes questions for the USMLE Step 1. I was not doing well on his exams, but this book helped shoot my exam score up by 14%! I had used the "Made Ridiculously Simple" micro review book, but I found it too superficial. It helps to know the "why"; I could never just memorize and regurgitate for an exam. This book is well updated, colored photos are great, well organized and thorough but not to endless detail. *One weak point: the immunology section is disappointing, but I would still recommend it for the micro part.
