This book is really good for those who have limited exposure to medical terminology and for those needing the basics explained to further understanding. It has really good writing exercises and the CD is great for learning to pronounce words correctly and to play games that help reinforce learning!

I bought this book because it is what we used in my Medical Terminology classes in College. The break down is easy and it has a good amount of practice you can do to help learn. Like everything else you do still have to study to get the information down but I really liked this book. And it was easier to understand then some that have been used in the past.
