Ditto to the complete lack of editing. Why even print something that is obviously still in the draft stage? Try some other product.

Please do not buy this book. I honestly feel that the company should recall this book. Chapter five alone contains more than 40 grammatical and or factual errors. If you wish to stick with an Appleton and Lange book I highly suggest obtaining a copy of the fourth edition(printed before the passing of the original editor in chief) as it contains far fewer errors. It amazes me that this book even made it to the printers.

lots of errors/poor editing in this "thoroughly updated and reviewed" 5th edition. even worse are the poor (and very brief) explanations that don't make sense and don't even address the questions. the cover touts "rationales for correct and incorrect answers", but this simply isn't true. just flip to the answers and you'll see that each explanation is incredibly short compared to other books and most of the answer choices are not mentioned.
i had a hard time figuring out which question resource to use during my surgery clerkship. both this book and pretest got mediocre/poor reviews, and there aren't any other dedicated surgery question books out there that i know of. i ended up using the 100 surgery q's from the kaplan qbook for step 2ck and the 200 surgery q's from blueprints q+a for step 2. so far, i think the blueprints questions are the most educational.

I only used this and Lange Case files for my surgery shelf and got an advanced. I'm a crummy multiple choice test taker so I figure if I could use this book and get that score, most anyone could.
I still have to say that the best way to do well on the surgery shelf is to know your Internal medicine (i.e. do Lange Q&A for medicine). I even had a question on the surgery shelf that was exactly the same as one on my medicine shelf. But if you want a text that helps you understand surgery and questions you'll probably be pimped on this is the book.
