The reality is that, if your purchasing this book for undergrad college physio, then This book would be a bit to much-however, this book will eventually me memorized, whether you want to or not for medical school. A lot of topics covered in this book are asked in USMLE step 1-3.
This book is great when used with its smaller companion the "pocket companion" from Guyton & Hall, and there is a question booklet that I found helpful, because the questions asked are conceptual question that are deep not factual based, meaning to answer the question properly, you'd have to have a solid foundation of various topics covered in the textbook and the question are designed to test your ability to manipulate the thoughts into reaching a conclusion.
I also use the Coztonzo textbook, because it offers the same topics ( not as detailed imo) but the diagrams and direct topics make it a great additive to this.
If your serious about medical school, I'd highly recommend purchasing this and Costanzo and buckle down.
I happen to love the subject and I am willing to spend extra time reading this book over more "high-yield" books that provide information that is more clinically relevant or aimed at boards and such.
I think the best time to read this is during undergrad (or anytime before med school) when you have the time. In med school it probably is too much text. If you are indeed in undergrad or have time off before med school, I read this book concurrently with Rosenthal's Medical Biochemistry: Human Metabolism in Health and Disease and found a lot of good harmony between the two.
The Guyton and Hall book is excellent, and, given that the newest edition has been said to focus on the length (assumingly shortening it), it's possible this edition is better than the 12th. It's thorough, has enough repetition of primary concepts to allow you to continually review the fundamental principles (for example, it will mention that Aldosterone increases Na+ absorption and increases K+ secretion in Renal Physiology each time it comes up so that you will not forget it when you are finished with the chapter), which is thoroughly pleasing because it is very easy to forget the value of repetition for students.
I would recommend this absolutely!
This is definitely one of the positives for getting this book.
One thing that would be helpful would be a summary at the end of the chapter, or review questions.... and not in a separate review book.....
