Cogent and comprehensive self-assessment tool
This book is a good tool for self assessment. The explanations to the answers add to your understanding of the subject. Gives key tables at the end of a chapter. On the whole an excellent resource for the ABSITE exam and the general surgery written boards.
Nice review book.
The newer edition follows the latest version of Schwartz. Questions are different then the old book, however the last 5 or so questions in each chapter are from the previous version of the same book. Some explanations to answers are excellent, with resources, other's don't really answer WHY a certain answer is picked for the quesiton asked. Overall, its' a good book to have. I would suggest it.
