Reviews

[Kate Savage]

It took me most of a year, but I finally finished the text book.

The writing was woefully bad (far more dull than it needed to be), but all the same, bodies are wonderful.

[Drea]

pretty much interpreted the instructor's lectures.
i think i could read it a few times over.

[Alisa]

for my physio class

[Andrea H]

way better than anatomy but still did not like it

[Vanessa]

Yes, this is a textbook. But I read this thing pretty much cover to cover (which is why I haven't read any real books since April) and was on the whole pretty pleased with the quality of the writing as well as the diagrams and illustrations.
