I have to say this was a nice review and update. I can see myself buying and reading a copy every year or two.
Did it help with the Boards? That's a tough one. The Family Practice Boards are inane and this book is practical, so you have a conflict right off the bat. (Example: The book teaches you how to work up a lump, while the Boards ask "In which of these patients is this lump statistically least likely to be a cancer?" No one practices medicine that way; we treat the patient in front of us and work up that one single lump).
I read the book cover to cover and learned a good deal from it. I then took the online practice tests and found the book did hit an awful lot of the practice questions. OTOH, the book focused on many things that the Board Exam skipped over entirely.
Overall, the Boards are a mess written by people who are completely out of touch with the real world of medicine. Studying the book and doing practice tests on line and then going back to the book, or doing the online test questions first and then focusing on the parts of the book you are weak in are excellent approaches to passing the Boards.

Learned tons and the fun kept me awake and interested.

After a couple of years away from clinical practice, I used it to prepare my return in clinical practice. Learned tons and the fun kept me awake and interested.
