I have finally completed a book about Clinical Anatomy even though I only scanned through the last twenty or so pages. I didn't and don't mind that it was a reviewer: I have plodded and crawled through the mud of Anatomy that the book was a welcome presence as I have actually understood more in these past few weeks of 'review' than in the past four years of medical school.
It's a great book: although I think Clinical Neuroanatomy Made Easy was more of a godsend, this book's combination of humorous illustrations and colorful mnemonics has illuminated Anatomy more to me than tackling Gray's head-on. (I scanned through the Special Senses sections because they won't probably be major topics in the boards.)
I think I'm about 10% less an idiot in Anatomy than before I read this book. To me, that's a huge improvement.
