1.0 out of 5 stars Caveat Emptor!, October 30, 1999

This review is from: Histology and Cell Biology (Mosby's Ace the Boards) (Paperback)

I am a freshman medical student at the University of Arkansas in Little Rock. If there is one thing that I can do for my colleauges is to wave a red flag and tell you NOT to buy this book. Firstly, the organization is extremely poor. Secondly, some information is inaccurate and/or outdated. Finally, the material is obviously condensed from a superior text on Histology by Gartner & Hyatt. Although, G&H is more expensive, it is well worth your money. The two color illustrations are also "modified from" other texts.

I am a second year medical student. I disagree with the previous poster. This book is incredibly well written and clinically relevant, especially to the USMLE. This book integrates alot of the molecular biology that is showing up frequently on the usmle. If you like the style of the rapid review series...this will fit you.

And to the previous poster, ideally we would all be using "TEXTS" to study for the usmle. You can't compare review books with major texts.
