As a medical student who is obssesed with brain and other related stuff.
I found this book very interesting, psychopharmacology is to some extent alittle daunting but Jonathan made a promise at the beginning of the book to make this book funny and memorable.
And I think he kept his promise along every chapter in the book. On the other hand, I think you will not perceive the fun unless you have a vigorous will and commitment to learn.
At the end, you will have a vivid background about popular neurotransmitters involved in common psycho-mental disorders.

Great for teaching medical students, or quick reference for non-psychiatrists. Clear writing style with useful memory tools. Quizzes included at the end of each chapter reinforce the material and there is a much longer test at the back. Psychiatrists will not find it detailed enough, but they are not the target audience.

Full of helpful mnemonics

This quick text has a lot of innovative mnemonics and cartoons that give you a solid memory. It's updated with new drugs. It has a lot of clinical tips. I like the section at the end of each chapter "Put it all together". The chapters of substance use and drug drug interactions are so well written and fruitful.

I love this kind of book. The contents in the book is very useful and enjoyable to read, surprisingly :D
The only things that annoy me is that I read it on my kindle and when it came to those review questions, i need to turn many more pages to get the answer and once I got there, i already forgot the question :( maybe I would give 5* to the hard copy :P)

Excellent read, useful and intelligent, the mnemonics mentioned are easily forgettable but filled with necessary and applicable information. Will definitely read it again.
