[Kate Savage · Rating 3 out of 5]

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 · Rating 4 out of 5]

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

[Marley Platterson · Rating 5 out of 5]

A clear and well-organized physiology text with strong clinical connections. The flowcharts, updated visuals, and critical-thinking questions make complex concepts easier to grasp. A solid resource for students of human physiology.

way better than anatomy but still did not like it

[Vanessa · Rating 4 out of 5]

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.
