90% of the bulk content is unnecessary; very poor quality. Short on substance; very long winded. This is not a science textbook, but a verbose chat. NOT recommended.

Porth's Pathophysiology provides a deeper look at the pathophysiology behind many health conditions. It is well written and interesting with helpful tables. There is a CD with animation that is helpful for seeing how the illness develops, but it is not as in depth as the text.

This book has an amazing ability to take a complicated subject and explain it in easy-to-understand terms. Very helpful, even after the class is finished; I use this as a reference all the time.

Although it is good being exhaustive, but the author fails to deliver.
The subject is already hard to understand, this book does not even help to make the subject clearer and easier. It's very deep and detailed in its own complicated words... In a fast pace nursing school, this is definitely not the book you want to review...
It is good for reference, but not as a textbook.
When you want to go for to the point review and understand the concept fast, you may want to look somewhere else...

The language of the book is hard. There are no pictures. The book is a good recienforcement of what is taught in class.

My book came exactly as described with extremely fast shipping. I would recommend to anyone! Thank you!

College education at a low price! Arrived on time and brand new!
All you need to know about Disease and disease process.

I couldn't believe this was the real book at this price but it is and it was in perfect condition. Its an older edition that whatever the current edition is but who cares, pathologies haven't changed that much.

Most of citations are taken from far better pathology books. Lots of inconstancies and weirdness.

This book will help you understand all kinds of phatophysiologies, it makes it easy to study!!
