5.0 out of 5 stars Simply superb and a model of its kind!, August 11, 1999

By A Customer

An absolutely exemplary textbook of its kind. It is as good a text on this subject for those with a post-graduate interest in this subject as you will find. The style of the written text skillfully balances the need for clarity with detail. Similarly the layout of the text in terms of presenting symptoms, lesional localisation, as well as broader aetiological categories is also attractive. I had previously been a reader of Victor & Adams but this is vastly superior in almost every way (clarity, academic depth, readability, up-to-dateness). It is simply a pleasure to read. The fact that it comes with a CD-ROM helping to illustrate certain points is just icing on the cake. If only all textbooks were as good as this.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good general neuro reference, September 30, 2002

By	I. T. Gavrilovic "gorgav" (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a good general neurology reference text, much like Adams and Victor. However, it is much easier to read than that other book. It is best suited for neuro residents. Goetz is a movement disorder specialist from Rush med in Chicago. His CD-ROM is an added bonus, especially all the videos, however it had some bugs. I'm not sure if this book is as complete as Adams and Victor, but I think it is a far better buy than NICP. Highly recommended.
