it's a necessary evil. Standard outline-based review. The editor should be shot though. The grammatical/spelling errors are frequent and blatant enough to make you cringe but they're tolerable. The blatant content errors i keep finding are good for keeping me on my toes, but really drag this book down as far as comprehensive quality review texts go. Still the bulk of the book is good for board and RITE prep. i'll let you know what happens after the exam.
