Book Reviews of BRS Physiology (Board Review Series)
Book Review: With Flying Colors
Summary: 5 Stars
I decided to purchase this book as a supplement to the textbook we use in class. You know, you read the complicated textbook and then the supplement next. Not so any longer. This guide gets right to the point. Reading it before class has facilitated my understanding of lectures and comprehension of the required readings.
You don't have to be a medical student to derive value out of this book. I hope it helps you as much as it has helped me.
Book Review: The gold standard for physiology on Step 1
Summary: 5 Stars
Great to use during 1st and 2nd year in supplement to your medschool classes. My boards will be this summer, but this book is widely regarded as the gold standard for physiology preparation for the USMLE/COMLEX step 1..This book is also a condensed version of the bigger physiology boook by costanzo (same author) so if you dont understand anything in the BRS, you should refer to the bigger Costanzo book. I highly recommend at least the BRS for boards.Book Review: not enough information
Summary: 4 Stars
I love the BRS because it concisely covers every topic, is very reader friendly, and does not take too much time.
I am giving it four stars because I wish I had discovered Costanzo's other physiology book much earlier. BRS is too condensed for the information to go to your long term memory. Costanzo's other book has much more information and I wish I had gotten that along with BRS.
Book Review: I'm in Love With This Book!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is seriously getting me through physiology. Not a replacement for a textbook (some of the concepts aren't explained, just listed), but a great review before the test. Reading through the chapter makes everything seem so much clearer! And the questions at the end of the chapter are a great way to study. I haven't taken the boards yet, but I'm sure this book will be helpful for them!Book Review: not worth the money
Summary: 1 Stars
The book does not have enough information or topics to review. Looks like it was hastily done just to get the title out. I did not find the book useful at all and had to order another physiology review book for USMLE.
I found it better to just go over highlights from the Constanzo physio book. Unless you are trying to complete your BRS title set, I would give this a pass.
