va al grano, no dice información ni extra pero tampoco siento que le falte.A ver no estudio esto entonces me pareció que la información estaba bien , la cantidad. Por lo menos como introducción está bien. Me gustó mucho. Obviamente es muy gráfico, si sos sensible no podes leer esto, porque para entender lo que explica es necesario ver las imágenes, y hay imagenes muy fuertes.

while reading this book i came across many topics that rejected some practices and methods that are included here in Pakistani course , may be because U.K's forensic science is advanced than Pakistan . so i wont recommend this book for forensic medicine exam in Pakistan ... otherwise simply written and well illustrated book for general study

Didn't bother me...but probably not the best book to read after a meal for most normal people.
