Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
I'm a medical student, and the content of this book seems excellent. The cases are well written, detailed, with great pictures. I wish the Kindle had color for this, but that's another issue... I gave this review a low score because of huge technical glitches in the kindle version of this book! In 75% of the 50 cases, there are sentences which are cut off in the middle! The end of the sentence (and perhaps other sentences after) are simply missing. For example: "Actinomyces israelii can be cultured under..." That's the end! This sentence obviously has an end, but you won't find an end included in the book! Other minor issues: sentences with a random periods or commas sprinkled in the wrong spot. For a $100 price-tag, I would expect the publisher could at least proofread their digital text! If these issues were resolved, I would change my review to a 5/5, because the writing is easy to read and thorough. I do wish the captions of the included photographs didn't give away the diagnosis, but again, that's a minor issue... Please fix this book!
