Visual Mnemonics for Microbiology

Rating:
Summary: Excellent choice
Review: I just finished Step 1 and I can honestly say that these drawings were a life saver. I could answer 90% of the questions from quick recall from these drawings. I would recommend them to anyone.

Summary: Excellent
Review: I truly enjoyed studying with this book. It is a unique way to memorize tons of material. I also added other drawings on top of the original drawings. You won't be able to forget these great illustrations and they are fast once you get the hang of it. I only wish I had the rest of the series sooner.

Summary: bogus
Review: I wasn't impressed. Something's amiss when you see two bogus, fabricated "5 star" ratings that sound about the same immediately after the book is published. I'd bet my stethoscope that the author posted those. Buyer beware.

Summary: This book is great and useful for boards
Review: The book contains simple doodlings by a med student not systematic visual learning tool as the fancy book cover may lead you to think. Most of the drawings are random and too simple to be a memory aid for more Board-relevant and necessary information. And despite the title, "Visual Mnemonics for Microbiology and Immunology," there are only two mnemonic drawings for the entire immunology section. Only two!
Good effort but not worth the price.
