Summary: Best thing since sliced bread
Comment: This book is amazing.
Definitely the best book in its field.
It was recommended to me by fellow students, SHOs, Registrars and even Consultants and you can't ignore that many recommendations.
It's easy to use - it has everything you'll need in one place yet it is compact. Ideal for medical students. One registrar even said it was a great text for the MRCPCH clinical exam too.
But most of all the book's appealing lay out makes you want to read it and not add it to your collection of door stops.
So a text that will help you pass your medical school exams, fill you with enthusiasm about paediatrics and also be of use when you graduate - that's a bargain!
Definitely up there with Kumar and Clark or the Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine as one of the must have medical books in order to pass!

Summary: Awesome book
Comment: This was a brilliant book that cut the crap and covered everything that you needed to know. I didn't buy it because of some of the reviews that I'd read, but we were issued it by our medical school as the course textbook and it covered everything that we needed to know and then some, without having to get hold of supplementary books to cover the rest of it. And the exam wasn't based on the book, it was based on lectures. It really is a good book, and it can be quite long-winded, but it's a reliable text that you know will get there in the end.

Summary: WARNING: DO NOT BUY THIS "BOOK"!
Comment: "This writing style is accessible and succint"-a blatent lie on the back cover. This book is about as accessible as Mars and as succint as the whole Britannica encyclopedia collection in Latin.
There is no consistency to the format. Don't fall into the trap of thinking that you may learn something as this book is more likely to confuse you of the knowledge you already may have. Half of the management sections are missing or hidden in the depths of unnecessary "illustrations and figures". By the way, writing big blocks of prose in a coloured box does not make it an illustration. When you do find management sections they say things like..."use anti-staphylococcal drugs to treat staphylococcal infections". Useful.
The index is appalling and should really direct to another book if it was gonna be of any help.
I personally would like an apology from the authors for wasting my time and money.
p.s. why is there a 2nd year medical student commenting on this book on the back cover. That is a clue to the fact that they couldn't get enough clinical medical students to praise this useless text

Summary: Style over substance
Comment: I'm afraid that this book is what a medical text ought not to be. With such a vast subject area it is important that the salient points are of course condensed.However, many important paediatric topics are condensed so wholly in this book that it often reads like a syllabus, leaving teh reader hungry (starving!) for something more gritty. Even the illustrations, which for me seem there to hide the books inadequacies, are often uneccesarily grand given the very simplistic information they contain. It is such a shame that a text meant to educate doctors of the future in this exciting speciality has the effect of frustrating and confusing many of its readers. Do note swallow the rumours (as I did), look elsewhere.

Summary: Not as good as you think!
Comment: I got this book because many of my fellow students suggested that 'it's all you need', please don't let the hype fool you! I'm currently on my paediatrics rotation and I have been using this text to help me with my hospital and PBL work. The book is colourful and attractive but lacks detailed information. It is certainly a good revision aid however it is not a good foundation for someone who knows nothing about Paediatrics as I do.
The text is too concise and I feel that many of the illustrations are superfluous to the text. If you want a textbook that skims over a topic and good for use for PBL then this is your book. Personally, I would have like some more background information on the different topics covered and I shall be looking for another Paediatric textbook with more substance.
