This book is very generic and not very informative in my opinion. I purchased this book for a health information class and I think that I read approximately 10-15 pages of it. I completed my homework using the internet instead of this book. Money down the drain. Unless one has tests that are DIRECTLY from this book I would not purchase it. I would not recommend it nor would I purchase it again.

This book was exactly what I wanted, it had a good amount of pen writing in it but was ok. I needed it for a class, so its okay, the writing in it actually helped me out to some degree.

I was very impressed at how quickly I received my order! At the time, we had bad weather and I was very happy that the seller took extra initiative to wrap the book in plastic to protect it from getting damaged. That was very thoughtful!
