As a neuropathology fellow I am in need of a good neuropath/neurorad review book. This is not it. The text is concise and to the point but lacks detail. The layout is also distracting at times. The histology photos are just awful. It is impossible to discern any cytologic detail. The colors are all off and have some strange yellow/orange hue. I wonder if the images were taken off a monitor as the pixel size is huge and there are lines running through some areas. Most of the radiographic photos are of OK quality, but suffer from grainy resolution. One major gap is the lack of any description of the various radiographic techniques and their uses. I had high expectations for this book but came away with no additional knowledge. If you are interested in this subject area I suggest Practical Review of Neuropathology by Fuller and Goodman. It's a great book appropriate for any level, med student or resident.

Book is excellent for medical students. Seems too basic for residents, but the pictures are excellent.
