It a good book:
I thought it helps out to sort through all the material, will not recomend this is your only book.
Missing over 100 pages:
I got the book on time, but it did not have page 295 to 410.
Take Step 2 Early and Use This Book:
This is the only book you need for to crush Step 2. Packed with great facts. I read this book twice and did the usmleworld question bank and my score was nearly perfect. Take Step 2 early because residency programs are much, much more interested in your score than before. I saw my score circled and starred on several interviewers sheets. My friend is going into surgery and took his exam late; many of his programs were calling him to ask for a Step 2 score while rank lists were being prepared.
Not yet ready for Kindle:
Don't get me wrong; I love the paperback, but I bought this for my kindle,and was sorely disappointed. The tables (that make up the majority of the book) were not properly formatted for the e-book, and the arrows used to signify increases and decreases show up as question marks instead, as the kindle's text does not recognize those icons.
