Errors.......2007-02-07

Book is full of many, many errors. Not worth your time. I didn't like Pre-test, either, as it seemed too detailed. Surgical Recall is GREAT but it contains no questions. Case Files is also useful. I have yet to find a useful surgery question book.

Try Pretest instead.......2007-01-10

The purpose of doing questions, in my opinion, is to get better at doing questions like those on the shelfs! People say that they expose holes in your knowledge as well, but that is not always useful information because people generally study as much as they can in the time they have. This book is not good at training you to answer questions correctly because the questions were way too difficult. By difficult I mean that you couldn't use your brain to figure out the answer with the knowledge you've accumulated, you had to have known the completely random fact that they decided to write a question around. In summary- buy PRETEST, much more useful for the shelf, in fact, there were at least three questions on my shelf directly out of the book!

Helpful Prep Book.......2006-09-28

I found this book very helpful for the Surgery shelf exam. I used this book and Surgery Recall (a must in most surgery clerkships) and felt well prepared for the shelf. I scored well above the national mean and the class mean. The only other factor was that our clerkship had a strong didatics aspect and that we were taught very well during lectures.

Deceptive!.......2006-09-08

The questions in this book are very different from and much easier than those that show up on the NBME surgery shelf exam. I did all of the question in this text and felt very comfortable with the material (having answered most correctly and quickly). Fortunately, I used pretest and surgical recall as well. Had I relied on this book alone, I would have been shell-shocked while taking the shelf. Again, the difficulty level in this book is inappropriate and provides poor preparation for the exam that counts! See also my reviews on Surgery Pretest and Surgical Recall if interested.

Insufferable.......2006-04-18

Like most other reviews of the book indicates, there are way too many errors in this book: several wrong answer choice indicated as being right (e.g., it would say C is correct when clearly the explanation says that D is), run-on sentences, spelling errors ("alcoholic" stool?), and explanations that are ambiguous and don't even address why the correct answer was correct. In one instance, the explanation just cut off in the middle of a sentence. It's almost as if the editors didn't even read it over after the first draft, or maybe they are marginally literate.

What truly worries me, however, is how much these minor errors reflect the possibilities of major informational errors; THAT would be the worst part of the book by far.

Which leads her to one very important question, namely, would Max stoop so low as to murder...?

Customer Reviews:

Excellent Kate Fansler book.......2001-07-26

Kate's colleague and friend Max manages to find her in her Berkshire hideaway. He convinces her to go with him to Maine to check out the literary files of a recently deceased author. Apparently, burglars have been seen in the area and Max is worried about the valuable papers. While there Kate finds the body of one of her students on the rocks.

This is a really good Cross novel. There are two main interwoven plots with a few sidelines. The mystery is difficult to solve and keeps your interest all the way through.

If you like literature . . ........2001-04-29

This is a slow-paced, detail-heavy mystery novel that will please people who really love and know literature. Loaded with imagery and references from the classic 19th and 20th century canon, it might be difficult to truly enjoy or appreciate by someone who does not. The novel is written in very intellectual and academic prose (lots of big vocabulary words -- after all the heroine is an English professor), but is nevertheless appropriate and entertaining, not too dry. The mystery unfolds extremely slowly -- in fact, until the second half of the book you are not really sure what the mystery IS -- but there is something tantalizing about this, and it makes the book feel as much like a "regular" novel as a mystery (so even someone who does not usually read mysteries might very well enjoy it). The last quarter of the book speeds up dramatically, with lots of unanswered questions, new clues, and even a bit of old-fashioned suspense; the ending is simple but somehow seems to fit just right. I did enjoy this book, and it was a quick and pleasant read, but I can warn you in advance that if you do not like literature, or reading very intellectual novels, you will probably find it boring. If the story of an upper-class English professor trying to solve a mystery surrounding a recently deceased British writer appeals to you, however, then pick this one up and give it a go. It's not an amazing book and it won't blow you away, but it's not expensive, and it's certainly good reading for a rainy day or a long trip.

If you like literature, taste this one........1997-10-19

"A bit of homicide, much wit, and lashings." Scholars, famous writers, literary circles. A taste of Walt Whitman, Wilde, Eliot, Oxford. Dissertations, literary executors, biographical writings.
