Book Reviews of Gray's Anatomy Review, 1e
Book Review: Good supplement to Grays but has errors
Summary: 3 Stars
For the most part, this review book provides a good way to see whether or not you actually absorbed the material in Gray's for Students and can take that information to apply them to USMLE-style questions. The sections are divided like the Gray's textbook (Back, limbs, abdomen, etc). Each section has between 100-200 challenging board-style questions, some with accompanying images. Consequently, this book is very time-consuming and often times you will come across a question that really can't be answered by the information contained in the Gray's chapters alone. I find that supplementing Gray's with BRS Anatomy makes answering these questions and mastering the information a lot easier. Time-wise, you're probably looking at 3+ hours going through one section's questions and reading every word of the answers in the back of the book.
You will find that some of the answers in the back of the book cite an incorrect page reference (especially in the abdomen portion of this review book). This can be very frustrating since you don't know exactly what pages the question was derived from and a lot of times, I simply gave up trying to find the corresponding textbook pages. You should also know that the Gray's textbook really doesn't go into as much detail as these review questions. For some of the questions, you'll have to consult another resource to really understand why a certain choice is the correct answer (BRS, Moore's Clinical Anatomy, etc).
I subtracted one star for having numerous incorrect page references and another star for stating some iffy answers (wrong according to some anatomists). Overall, this review book is a good resource to have in preparation for an anatomy exam although BRS will probably be immensely more helpful in your studies.
