4.0 out of 5 stars Better than High Yield, July 31, 2005

This review is from: Clinical Neuroanatomy Made Ridiculously Simple (3rd Edition; Book & CD-ROM) (Paperback)

I used this book to review for the USMLE Step 1 and really enjoyed it. In general, I've found the "Ridiculously Simple" Series to be better for me that "High Yield." Although the "Ridiculously Simple" books don't always pack in quite as much information, they are much better at helping you remember things with their clever drawings and mnemonics. And in the end, it's not what you went over but what you REMEMBER that counts. I also found this book quite useful for clearing up several clinical points that were not well covered in my neuroanatomy course. The only reason it gets 4 stars is that I wish some of the figures and drawings were a little better. But overall it's a great little book!

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the FIRST and ONLY place to start studying neuro!, August 14, 2003

As a medical student, I suggest that this is the first place you go to learn about neuroanatomy. It gives you the basics and builds a foundation that you can build on. After a few hours with this book, I was weeks ahead of my classmates!

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential for Medical Students, April 9, 2006

This review is from: Clinical Neuroanatomy Made Ridiculously Simple (3rd Edition; Book & CD-ROM) (Paperback)

This skinny text is one of the few books that all medical students can read and benefit from. When I took neuroanatomy, it was regarded as the most difficult course in our first-year curriculum. Having read this book early in the course, and referring back to it several times, I got off to a great start. It won't tell you eveything you need to know, nor in the depth you'll need to know it. But 15 years ago, it was the most gentle introduction to neuroanatomy around; I'll bet not much has changed.
