4.0 out of 5 stars Help for the Boards, June 13, 2000

By	Brian Johnson (Charleston, SC) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Microbiology and Immunology (Paperback)

Microbiology and Immunology is another quality review guide molded in the line of the other Board Review Series books. While all the required information for the boards is presented, little is in sufficient detail for course exams. However, this book is a good reference and guide to help steer your studying in conjunction with a larger text.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not on par with the BRS series, March 16, 2006

By	Karl A. Schultz "KaS" (Houston, TX) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was very disappointed with this BRS. I have collected most BRS's for MS-1s and have been impressed with the thorough but concise manner in which information is conveyed.
In contrast, micro is outdated, redundant, disorganized and generally not useful.
The one high point of this book is that the immuno section is good. It helped me greatly with our half semester immuno course. Otherwise I would have given it only 1 star.
Unfortunately, I cannot recommend a better resource.
