The exercises in this book really help you to memorize the terms. And the flash cards it came with were very helpful. Too bad they were only for Greek and Latin word parts, so I had to hand-write everything else. SO MANY FLASHCARDS.

Great book. The exercises really enforced the content and helped with memorization.

Again, technically I'm still reading this one but I've read enough to comment on it. It's not the greatest as far as textbooks go. The information could be streamlined better and some vocab words are not highlighted in any way--that's annoying. Plus, the photos aren't that great--if I'm going to have to look at a picture of a guy with a skin disease I at least want the photo to be a quality one.
