if you’re looking for an extensive but concise overview of neurosurgery, this is your book! (it only took me a year to finish 😅)

A great quick review of topics with many pearls interspersed throughout. It's best for interns and incoming interns, and will make using Greenberg easier as a reference. There were however many typos, a few bits of outdated information, and there was a mixup of scoring in a table in the cerebrovascular section. The best part of this book are the practice questions at the end of each chapter, be sure to do those.
