Review:

Comprehensive Board Review in Neurology does a good job in organizing and presenting a large amount of core neurology knowledge that the trainee is expected to know. A good resource to use in studying for the neurology, neurophysiology, and pathology sections of the neurosurgery boards. A good value, especially given the very high image quality.--Journal of Neurosurgery
