The diagrams in this book are standouts. If you ever are short a pathway or failing to understand different endocrine signals link organs this is a great quick reference.
The format may be better for some (starting each chapter with several clinical cases, going over the information, and closing with a reconnection to the case), I found it cumbersome. It would often state the obvious or redundantly tread out the same information. While the little tidbits to the sides were helpful and the overall writing easy to follow, my personal take on the format of this book makes it difficult to rate highly.

This book is the best chemistry book I've ever read. I wish it had been around when I studied organic chem in the '70s.
It repeats concepts and material to give you a good chance of remembering what you've read. The use of clinical examples with amusing names that help you remember the condition or disease associated with them is quite cute and a nice learning technique.
The summaries at the end of each chapter are great for pulling out the main information (which the book presents in a very detailed manner) and perfect for review.
If you are the type that can absorb everything in one pass, then this may not be the book for you, but if you're like me and enjoy a good dose of reinforcement, then it should prove to be an excellent book.
