From reviews of the previous edition:
It beautifully illustrates the marriage of science and art by examining the most common neurological problems. * BMJ *
Neurology is difficult, but this book presents the subject in a friendly manner and makes it less daunting... this book is: more than enough, easy to read, a lot thinner than other neurology textbooks, highly recommended. * Sukhdev Chatu, 4th year medic, M.A.D. *
I get the impression that the examiners in Finals probably won't ask me anything that I couldn't find in this book... it is an excellent and efficient revision tool not only for the written papers in Finals, but also for the examination skills and OSCEs. It's small and easy to read. If you turn up a few times in outpatients and you read this slim book, I think you'll do well. Read the book first, and you might even impress the consultant! * Cambridge Medicine *
