"The book’s goal is to act as a 'last minute' review text, covering the most important topics that will likely be encountered on board and licensing examinations.... All chapters are presented in a question-and-answer format only, rather than lengthy text summaries.... The answers to the questions are concise, well-written, and often humorous, with memory aids and clinical pearls throughout. The illustrations are clear and well-crafted and make many of the concepts easier to understand.... This is the third edition of the reviewed book, and this version adds a third author, reorganizes the subjects a bit for a more logical flow, and adds color to illustrations, as well as an online version, making it a very useful update. I would highly recommend it for students and residents who want to quiz themselves on what areas they need to strengthen and to enhance their understanding of fuzzy concepts."
