	Rapid Review Microbiology and Immunology
	By: Ken S. Rosenthal, James S. Tan ISBN: 0323008402 Publisher: Mosby Release Date: 07 May, 2002 Bioscience book rank: 570041	This book is great. It covers everything you need to know for step 1, while leaving out all you dont' need to know. The questions are probably the best micro vignette questions out there, and helps reinforce what you learned from the book. <br />This book is much better than micro made ridiculously simple in terms of boards review. Its written in outline format so you can get through it much faster, and it includes an immunology section that has all you need to know for the immunology questions on the step. <br /> <br />The only thing I don't like is the Rapid Review format. At times the outline format should be written in complete sentences (like the high-yield series) to avoid confusing statments/facts. For me, this seemed especially true in the immunology section, which can be confusing if you have a weak immuno background. <br /> <br />Other than that, this is a great review book. The only review book for micro in my opinion. Perfect for medical microbio class. I used Micro Made easy for class, and after reading this book to review for the boards I would definately recommend it over Micro made easy. The organization is better, it's a shorter text, has an outline format, has excellent tables that while are not as detailed as the micro made easy book are a lot easier to read, and it has everything you need to know for class, which micro made easy does not. <br /> <br /> Immuno section is a bit brief but it has all the essentials. I would also recommend reading Immunobiology by Janeway and Medical Microbiology by Murray. Both texts are outstanding and really help you appreciate the subjects.

	Essentials of Diagnostic Microbiology
	By: Lisa A. Shimeld ISBN: 0827373880 Publisher: CENGAGE Delmar Learning Release Date: 19 October, 1998 Bioscience book rank: 170544	I am a medical labortory technition student. We use this as one of our primary microbiolgy textbook. After spending a couple of weeks with it, out teacher dug last years book out of the boxes. This book is full of errors, typos, and generaly hard to keep stuff straight. It sometimes seems that it was never proofread. Its full of good info, but I wonder how much is correct. I have bought 2 other books on my own for the class that I (and the teacher) rely on to verify the info in this book. If you can find this book cheap, buy it. Don't waste any money on full price.
