Summary: Multiple flaws make this an unsatisfying review tool.
Comment: This text has numerous flaws whcih I will simply list: 1) There are numerous questions with more than a single correct answer and no "best" answer. 2) Often the answer key does not correspond to the question's numbers. For instance "A" is the correct answer, but in the explanation "B" is described as the correct answer. 3) There are pediatric questions in the adult medicine section. 4) Maybe 40+% of the surgical section is orthopoedic. 5) Some answers are suspect. For instance, some trauma questions provide no best answer. Which bad aswer should I pick? 6) Often it is unclear how to answer questions: i.e respond "true or false" to each possible answer, or single best answer. 7)Often questions are clumsily worded, with unclear directions.

Overall, the frequent mistakes do not inspire confidence in the reviewer. There is no clear sense that this review book might in any way correspond to the board exam. I wouldn't buy this book again!

Rating: 2
Summary: Not worth the price
Comment: The adult medicine section was extremely brief in content, had a lot of typos, and did not reflect the content of the shelf exam which focused on fatigue, shortness of breath, HTN, stroke, etc. The pediatrics and geriatrics sections were decent, but again the shelf focused on developmental behavior (not only on a single milestone).
