Positives about this book:

Easy to read format and on the topics covered I feel there is a good level of detail and it is well referenced - i.e. if you want to find out more information the referenced texts/article titles are at the end of each chapter.

Negatives about this book:

It is not a comprehensive textbook on feline medicine, for example Hyperthyroidism is a common feline problem but the only chapter on this topic relates to the effects of Hyperthyroidism on the kidney.

I think the book is a worthwhile purchase to compliment other textbooks and has up to date information but if you are looking for a text with a good breadth of coverage of medical topics for study purposes then this is probably not the sole book to buy.
