Customer Reviews

Good to read

I came across this book 2 years ago, and since then I became interested in its contents. It's a good book, up-to-date, easy to read, but sometimes it lacks details when showing some aspects of diseases. The basic subjects part is useful, but lacks details as well. Although these points, it's an excellent book to be on one's study shelf.

A review for residents

This book is a great first textbook for neurology residents. Igave it only 4 stars because Bradley covers more material, but it iseasier to read than Adam and Victor or Goetz and Pappert. Very well written and with great pictures. END
