Very useful review text
Why so small? because it just lists line facts on each topic. Covers all essential topics with good factual knowledge assuming the user has read a more detailed surgical text. It has excellent pictures and serves its purpose very well as an aide memoir. Better that other review texts as it is small and easy to carry around allowing the user preparing for exams to have it all the time

good to use
This is a very nice review in a pocket-sized version that allows you to easily carry it around. The style is the same as the earlier edition though this is now in color. It is set up in a bullet-point high-yield style and can be read quickly. Just remember that it is designed for ABSITE review not as the definitive source for anything.

specialty surgery need to be expanded a bit, the font (the text size ) need to be expanded so that you can have a place ...

concise review, excellent resource
this book is designed to be a concise, topic based review for the absite. it is the most efficient way to spend your time, although the outline format is boring. people that write a negative review don't get the point.

the only review for the ABSITE
I had the previous version, and bought this one when mine disappeared from a call room. Even better than the first edition. There really isn't anything else available that compares. If you know this material, a good to excellent score should follow.
