This review is from: Hole's Human Anatomy & Physiology (Hardcover)

I was assigned this book for my A and P classes at my university. I found it to be quite complete as the previous reviewer said. I also liked the writing style since it was not in hard language. Although some anatomy words are hard at first to learn like styloid and mastoid, I found the text to be easy to learn the information from. I also found two great study guides which really helped me get the grades I wanted. I discovered them from a classmate of mine. They are:
Anatomy and Physiology Study Guide: Key Review Questions and Answers with Explanations Volume 1 and Volume 2 by Patrick Leonardi. These showed me what I needed to know for my A and P tests. The questions were very good in the study guides because they were asked in the format of how my teacher would ask them. Hole's textbooks is also an excellent textbook--highly recommended.
