This review is from: USMLE Road Map: Microbiology & Infectious Disease (LANGE USMLE Road Maps) (Paperback)

I've used this book now for most of the M2 year.

This book is a great supplement to class notes, and can even be used as a primary source for micro. It is extremely organized and the chapters are short and manageable. Also, there are a few questions at the end of each chapter that are fairly helpful. The only disadvantage that I can think of is that the margins are not wide enough if you are the type of student that likes to annotate your books. Other than that, this book will really aid in your studying for this class.
