This review is from: Loose Leaf Version of Hole's Human Anatomy and Physiology (Loose Leaf)

This book is wonderful! Easy to read/study figures for lab exams and the loose leaf pages makes it easy to study individual figures at a time. I recieved the book in a reasonable amount of time. I would definitely recommend this loose leaf version to any anatomy student! (Plus it is cheaper too!!)

1.0 out of 5 stars I hate this book, February 15, 2011

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

My school makes us use it, but it's really a terrible book. I hate the way everything is organized (by that I mean that the information that I would think should be under one topic is brushed over if that topic is mentioned anywhere else within the book at all) and the artistic interpretations that usually look nothing like what they are trying to portray. Everything looks like it's made out of Play-Doh. Most of all, I hate that in this edition, the glossary does not match up with the actual page numbers!!! It's the most ridiculous thing ever, how did it ever get published - oh yeah, because after they "fix" it, it will be another new edition students have to waste money on.
