Book Reviews of Rapid Review Pathology: With STUDENT CONSULT Online Access, 2e
Book Review: OVERRATED!! BRS Path is better
Summary: 3 Stars
Like most of you, I bought this book because I heard amazing things about it. Maybe the Golgian audio is amazing but this book is lousy. It's written in an outline form, however, it offers minimal text. It's basically a bullet point type of outline that offers barely any explanation. Please indicate an example of RR explaining a mechanism. Thus far, the only book that offers any details regarding mechanisms and pathophysiology is the big Robbins text. If you think you will get that from RR, you are sadly mistaken. The reason why people love this book is due to it's color photos and full details. Details are nice but when presented in a bullet point outline style, it distracts one from the pertinent information. You have no sense of what are the main important concepts. Rather, this is just a regurgitation of details in a glossy format. This book is great for those who already understand pathology intuitively and just need to glance at these topics and commit them to memory. Imagine if you took the Robbins text and then just compiled a bunch of bullet points from each chapter into an outline form. There is no sense of organization and I have no idea how someone would retain the information by reading this "book". Again, I don't even consider this a book. It's merely a 600 page outline.
I personally like to understand what I read this and this book doesn't explain items. Granted, no one has time to read the full Robbins text or even the baby Robbins text but I feel the BRS Pathology book offers the best of both worlds. It's concise but it's written in sentence form so it explains things without going into overkill. Granted the BRS Pathology leaves out some details but let's be realistic, if you can master that book, you will have 90% of all the Pathology you will need to know for the boards. You have to be realistic. Sure, you could read Golgian's book and then not retain anything because it was 600 pages of bullet points or you can read BRS and master 400 pages of concise well written sentences.
Yes, it lacks pictures and quality MCQ's. However, those who love this book are fully aware of this and we use other sources for pictures and MCQ's. I love the Robbins MCQ book. For pictures, there is webpath in addition to Netter Pathology which is far better.
