Average Rating:
 out of 5 stars
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Nice, portable supplement
Taking the boards on 01/29/2008. I will update once I know my results.

This book is an excellent study outline, and helps fill in some gaps that the 'other review book' leaves out. I enjoyed the fact that there is ample space on the topic pages to fill in with my own notes gleaned from Mastery of Surgery, Cameron's Current Surgical Therapy, and Sabiston's Textbook of Surgery.

Pros:
Nice format with things to focus on and avoid - helps to organize thought process
Book does not try to be an all-inclusive reference, making the examinee actively search for the information he outlines
Great series of 'things to think about,' so you are not faced with too many situations that you haven't at least pondered for a few minutes - minimizes the 'deer in the headlights effect' from sudden scenario changes

Cons:
Some topics merit more depth - Diverticulitis, More on Pediatric, GYN, GU, Vascular, and Trauma Surgery come to mind!

Overall, worth the price. I will be sure and post more comments once I have (hopefully) survived and passed the Exam myself.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Good quick review but missing the details
This will give you a lot of possible questions but the details to answer the questions are often missing. It is an ok book but you will definitely need to study more



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - you better read a text book
This book is a good companion to your prep for the oral boards, but the most important is to read between the lines and refer to a text book during the preparation.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Nice Addition
Not a replace ment for a good surgical text. Simply a nice addition to your oral review books. Quick, nice organization ... but very brief, no details. Does a good job of letting you know what can get you into trouble if you DO say or if you DON'T say.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - excellent study guide for part 2 FRACS
Currently studing for the part 2 FRACS surgical exam. I have found this excellent revision and guide to study. Not a sole study book but a good backbone text to build knowledge on
