I'm trying to figure out which one would be better to read while studying for step. I had read the BRS a while back, but its quite lengthy, so i'm wondering if I should crack it open again or go with HY since its shorter...any thoughts from people who have read either and have taken the exam? I appreciate any input.

HY is pretty decent, go with that.

If you already have both you could read HY and then do the questions in BRS. Or just do the qbank qs w/HY.

I think the same author wrote both books, so the only difference is probably a little more prose and the questions at the end of the chapters.
