4.0 out of 5 stars Not so Terrible!, November 12, 2008

By	M. Todd - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I would have to disagree. This book may seem dry at first, but it does have a wealth of information. It is very to the point and doesn't run around in circles. It may lack information in some chapters only because it was already covered in earlier chapters. So reading it straight through is the best way to learn. I've enjoyed it. I've also purchased Lemone and Burke to compare. I enjoy both!

5.0 out of 5 stars good nursing book, April 24, 2009

4.0 out of 5 stars A softer version of Lewis..., March 7, 2009

By	Kelvin K. B. Tay "BravoRed" (California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I would also have to disagree with "An Avid fan" as well...I felt Iggy was an easy read and much more organized than Brunner, which i felt was all over the place. Im am actually using Lewis as my primary source and neither can touch it in terms of "indepthness." But talk about dry, Lewis is not a "fun" read. Iggy however, is a much more enjoyable read. Im not sure if im sold on all the tables and graphs however. I love tables but some seem unnecessary or distracting. I do think the way it presents Nursing diagnoses is comparable if not superior to Lewis, and definitely better than Brunner. I haven't read the clinical companion guide for Iggy yet. I have the Lewis clinical guide and from what i've seen from Brunner, Lewis has a bit more info.
