Average Rating: 
Rating: - good reference for internal medicine rotation
Since the full-size Harrison's is rather...full-sized, this book is a good reference to take with you for studying at the hospital. It has good differentials of common patient presentations and covers the basics of common diagnoses and treatment.
Rating:  - Was expecting a little more ...
Not as in depth as I would have liked, but I guess it's hard to do that in a "coat-sized" book. Overall, it's okay ... just nothing that lights my world on fire.
Rating: - Good... but not great
I bought this book at the beginning of my 3rd year medicine rotation and used it for several weeks. It was good... but I did not find the layout and algorithms to be user friendly. It has the information.. but I found myself searching in various sections to find what I needed many a time.

Rating:  - Excellent
This pocket manual really does contain everything you could possibly need for an excellent pocket reference during your internal medicine rotation. Also clearly references the larger text, in case you want even more information.
Rating: - Just average
This handbook is meant for doctors in the wards but cannot be called "Harrison in Hand". It can never be a substitute for that book. The algorithms are mind boggling if a physician has no access to the bigger text. It is nothing but a consolation of having the bigger text in hand.
