This book is pretty good. It is in a question and answer format for the most part, but with a few cases mixed in. There are some chapters that appeaar to be written by a non-english native, as some of the words do not make sense!
Overall, I'm glad I bought it, but I think if I only had time for one book, I would go with more of a scenario-based one. Also, this version is a bit out-of-date. I haven't had the FP board yet.

I agree with the other reviewer. Errors, errors, errors! Find a different review book if possible.

I found too many questions with incorrect answers. I found this book to be frustrating. A book of this type should be carefully proofread and it obviously was not.

Great way to QUICKLY focus and prep for the national PA test. I used this book and I just passed the PA test, even though I had limited time to study. Questions are divided according to the various medical specialties (Peds, ID, GI, etc.) which helps focus your review so you can concentrate on your weak areas, while avoiding wasting your time reviewing questions in your strong specialty areas.

The quality of pictures and diagrams were poor. More slide preparations should be displayed

After reading every word of the paperback, I find very little to say positive about "The Winter War". Knowing "The Winter War" won the 1961 Western Writers of America Spur Award in the HISTORICAL NOVEL division was probably my motive in selecting the book. It certainly took a lot of stamina and determination to get the book read.

I WAS SHOCKED WHEN I FIRST READ THE BOOK,IT WAS WASTAGE OF TIME&MONEY, EVEN NOT GOOD FOR PHYSICIAN ASSISTANT OR NURSE PRACTITIONER.

A person can;t pass with the amount of sparse info in this book. MI summarised in half a page,! .How nice.All imp topics contain not more than a few lines.Good if you want to fail

I found this book awesome for quick review. If you want detailed explanations, use Harrison's! I would recommend this book highly, especially to those who paid attention in class and only need a quick review. This book gives you what you need to know for USMLE step 2.

Why anyone would spend money on Levine's book just to find out what happened to some peripheral character with whom she once worked is beyond me.

This is Kathy's second "authobiography" coauthored with Jane Scovill. I would say that this book is not as JUICY as her 1st book, but still very interesting ONLY if you are a QVC/Kathy Levine fan already. Kathy is as honest as Kathy can be. She still will not say anything negative about QVC or any of the guests/hosts since she still is gainfully employed by QVC. And I think some of her experiences with men are nothing out of the ordinary for us really ordinary women.

"I've been lucky, very lucky. In fact, we should all be so lucky," says Kathy Levine. Actually, Kathy Levine sets clear goals and takes action to achieve them. When she makes mistakes, many of which she details in this book, she refuses to be crushed, and gets up and tries again. This was a pleasant read, chatty and truthful, like a letter from a relative you haven't seen in a long while.

I did not find this book helpful for step3, may be it is helpful for step1

This is not a good book for children, since the author (in the early 1900's) wrote an offensive caricature of the dark-skinned man of African descent. The publisher placed a disclaimer on the title page.

The originals have been squeezed from a 210-page format to half that number of pages by spreading a small typeface across pages with no margins. Although the publisher claims that typographical errors in the original have been corrected, the copy is riddled with ludicrous typos (degree symbols for the letter "o", "&" for the letter "d", "Neil" for "Ned", etc. with an average of 1-1/2 typos per page. Clearly these were scanned by machine and run through a spell checker, untouched by human eye. The illustrations in the originals are omitted. It seemed a service to reprint the original Tom Swift series in an affordable format, but these are cheap, ugly and so carelessly made that they aren't worth the trouble.
