Has anyone used or is familiar with this book? It just came out in Dec 2013 so I'm not sure how popular it is. Is it a bit too much for Step 1? Probably would eliminate the need for any subject review books.

I just bought it to check it out. It is almost identical to FA for Organ Systems. It has great conceptual descriptions and makes great connections. It's a different beast then a list of buzzwords and mnemonics that is classic FA. I'm hoping it will be a good supplement to remind me of the actual pathophys behind the disease and not just the buzzwords.

Another thought, it reminds me of Rapid Review Path by Goljan except for in paragraph form instead of outline bullets. Makes it smoother to read but lacks some of the detail of RR.

Others? Thoughts?

The book apparently has excellent reviews on amazon.com

Many reviews on Amazon are fake. See this link:

Many could have easily been written by those who are selling the product. Sometimes it's hard to tell those apart from real ones. I've never heard of it, but you'd probably just be safe sticking with the well known resources (UWorld, First Aid, Pathoma, Goljan, etc).

i watched a video (that i don't know where it is) where Goljian recommends this book highly.
