4.0 out of 5 stars Augmenting the text, March 21, 2008

I like to understand why I do things, and this book certainly answered my questions. Every time I take ACLS I memorize the algorhythms, and a week later I start to forget! This book gives background information that explains and cements the guidelines. Recently I started teaching ACLS. Students ask a lot of questions, and that's why I picked up this book. It helped me discuss questions in a much more meaningful way. The only reason I give it four stars is because I thought it could have been a little richer - it is incredibly easy, but mostly that's good!

This review is from: ACLS Review Made Incredibly Easy! (Incredibly Easy! Series) (Paperback)

It is funny how some people act insulted because the "Incredibly Easy" series books have "cartoons" in them; but, I think this is a wonderful book that explains things very very well. Getting a thorough grasp of learning critical concepts is very important when you are dealing with human lives! Who cares about the cartoons, besides the cartoons have "get to the point" information reminders. Every time I opened and studied from this book, I feel like a hero because I learn something every time. This book is hard for me to close because I find it so interesting, and fascinating to learn this stuff. I would highly recommend this book to anyone taking ACLS for the first time, or to review.
