Reviews

[Melvin Marsh · Rating 4 out of 5]

The book is an easy read, I'll tell you that much. Whether or not its useful is another story. Mostly it seems to discourage the reader from attending. I read this book prior to going to medical school and I would also discourage the reader from attending... what follows is the book review I wrote then...

The book is an easy read, I'll tell you that much. Whether or not its useful is another story. Mostly it seems to discourage the reader from attending. As far as I go, since I would be interested in medical school for different reasons rather than the more traditional reasons plus since I would be going back to school, the book was less discouraging to me than it would be to someone of more traditional medical school age.
