 "Amazing, though few illustrations + little short on some details" 2009-11-25
By F. A. Alkharboush (Saudi Arabia, Riyadh)
This is the book my school recommends for the basic internal medicine course. Its amazing. If you are a reader, and like medicine, this is a must.



The writing flows like silk. The chapters on Cardiology and Molecular Medicine are PHENOMENAL. Its comprehensive without being overloaded with details, its brief without being too brief, its a very enjoyable from cover to cover.



To give you an example of the kind of details it misses, in Chronic Renal Disease, you get a nice explanation of the complications though no expansion on the viscous circle that happens.



One other downside is the lack of illustrations. There do exist but there aren't many, same goes for tables. Also, the Neurology section could be better.



Read it, then jump to Cecil or Harrison if you want more details. I had to do so and made a mistake buying Kumar which I didn't like.



My senior colleagues told me this is one of the best sources for USMLE Step 2. Seems to be the opinion of many people online too.

 "great book, but look inside" 2009-09-25
By Yehuda Malul (Holon, Israel)
A very good clear book, it is made for the student that has just started a course, and would like to have a clear overall view of the material. When I start a course, I would like to have a book that will give me the introduction, and only after I have seen with what I am dealing, I feel prepare enough to read some other much more detailed material. The details are saved for last.

This book is perfect for the introduction, and much more. If you would like to read about the smallest! details I suggest you read the bible of Harrison.

In short: THIS is the book for the med student, it serves as the skeleton ad muscles of the course; for the fat you should consult Harrison.

From my experience, a student should never start reading Harrison.

Cecil essentials serves as a quick review for all the internal med, before and after the exam.

Why 4 and not 5 stars? because i would have liked a more thorough and complete review of neurology.

I really like this book, i am a second year medical student and this book is great so far. I love the charts and the organization it has!

 "Great Medical Text" 2008-11-11
By A. Rasmussen (Gainesville, FL)
We are using this book and CMDT adn McCance Pathophysiology. I like this text for easy to understand explanations of the different disorders. CMDT does a better job of explaining labs and treatments and has a consistent organization, but can be heavy reading for trying to figure out what are the presenting s/sy of the disease. They are both good companion texts.

 "Why did I buy Harrison's?" 2008-08-30
By Seejay (Earth, superficially)
I get a hernia when I pick up Harrison's. I've used it twice this year. As a graduating senior, I collected all of my upperclassmen's suggestions of books. Cecil's has a bit more info than I'd like, but it's a readable length if you're not a procrastinator like me! Medwhiz's review is spot on.



Cecil's is extremely well written, and easily understood. It stresses only those topics that graduating seniors absolutely have to have a clue about by graduation, and it doesn't waste too much paper. It's not a pocketbook, but at about half the physical size of Harrison's, it's not easy to carry around, either.



If I had to buy only one book out of Harrison's, Cecil's, NMS, and Blueprints, I'd get Cecil's. It's well worth the money.
