Rating:  - Excellent!
Harrison's is the most complete book of clinical medicine in one nice package. Well worth the investment!
Rating: - If your a Third year Medical student this book is a must.
I just finished my third year of medical school, and I found this book to be a must own. the topics quite interesting and comprehensible, and will help with most areas you need to reference.

The thing is pricey, but well-worth the cost.
