Rating:  - Last minute is right.
I'd mail my copy to whoever wants it, but i think i threw it away.
Rating: - Misleading.
Since I passed, why would I not want someone else to buy this book? Why would I even care? I bought it on the strength of the 2 authors, but it is truly little more than an outline. Cornell has some great attendings, but it is wrong to sell as advertised, and uncharacteristic of them. Perhaps the publisher is at fault here, trying to sell based on hospital name, and not the authors. It is aggravating to feel duped for having bought it, even if it was only $40.

Save your time and money for better resources.

Rating: - Dry, riddled with typos, endless lists
I did pass the boards (first time taker) but did not find this book helpful. It was full of errors. It was also very dry and did not suit my style of learning at all. This book is not horrible and I'm sure is useful for many people but it was painful to get through (even more painful than studying for the boards has to be). I used Laughing your way to passing the pediatric boards and absolutely loved it.
