Average Rating: 
always room for improvement
Rating:
great introductory level surgical text. Would prefer to have purchased surgical text by Schwartz.
Solid
Rating:
This book can be read in a short time and give sufficient knowledge base for surgery clerkship. With that said, I did not like the format of the book as I felt it was too bland. This could be however a result of all the high yeild/bullet format books out on the market that I might be used to. I recommend reading only a select chapters in this book.
Too much to read.
Rating:
This book is so long and wordy, It's a great reference for surgical topics, but so hard to read. It is not a good review book, and i would say not a book to read during your rotation in surgery since you probably wouldn't have enough free time to read the entire thing. It is a good book, don't get me wrong, but I find it's too much for 3rd yr rotation material.
Good Book
Rating:
Good book for introductory purposes. It describes many procedures and gives you a good basis for understanding. Not a good book for actually learning how to do a surgery!
Good, not excellent buy!
Rating:
The book, although in general terms is well organized and practical, doesn't cover general topics like urology or thoracic surgery, which i belive to be "Essentials to General Surgery." Still, i benefited from it a lot, so i would recommed it.
