Summary: University of Kentucky College of Medicine
Comment: This book is an absolute must for any medical student studying for pathology finals or for Step 1 of boards. I was able to get through this book in five days to review for my path final, where my lecture notes would have taken at least 2 weeks. The outline format of this review is easy to follow and there are many tables and charts comparing different disease processes and such. These tables make it a little easier to remember all of the picky details. I highly recommend this book.

Summary: Written when some of its users were still in junior high
Comment: This book has strong word-of-mouth press, as well as a glowing review from the First Aid book. Its thickness is intimidating, especially for the BRS series, but the pages aren't too dense, so that it can be covered in its entirety in four days or less. Without having compared it to its competitors, I can still say that it does cover just about everything necessary to study pathology. Sometimes the book is a little skimpy on details that, in my own case, were filled in by previous overlapping study through other subjects.
A more substantive complaint is that the book is in dire need of an update: it was published in 1993. For example, the sections on lymphoma classifications and HIV treatment are hopelessly outdated. Along the same lines, the questions at the end of each section and the comprehensive exam at the end don't reflect the current USMLE testing style. For one thing, about 70% of the questions in this book are phrased negatively, as in "all of the following are true, EXCEPT...". For another, many of the questions are quite a bit pickier than my experience with the USMLE step 1 (three days ago).
The book also contains far too few photomicrographs, and those are all black and white, but this can be remedied easily with supplemental materials.

Summary: Get this and start using it the first day of Path!
Comment: I would highly recommend you get this and use it for your path course-take notes in it, if you'd like. Then when it's time to study for the boards, you're familiar with it (probably have most of it memorized by then)! You'll be glad you did. It helped me ace Path (and no, I'm not a "star student") and it covers Pathology for boards as well
