Not impressed, & this is not comprehensive. Try to answer the Sleisenger review board questions with the Mayo book, it won't happen for you. You want to know GI? Apparently, go to Sleisenger&Fortran.com...Also, I'm additionally pretty upset for another reason as well.I bought both the Kindle version & the print version on the same day, Kindle obviously for portability on my iPAD.The Kindle version is copyright 2005, Yes FIVE. The print version is 2008.#1. the ad for the Kindle Mayo book says the book is copyright April 17, 2007. That is a lie.#2. And, the text differs too.They don't tell you this.... Mayo just wants your money, & , well they're scared of the iPAD & apparently will do anything to promote their Kindle.I can tell you this about Kindle (I have 3 textbooks on Kindle & have given up - 3 strikes & you're out).Kindle is good for "toilet-time" reading material, not a textbook - bookmarking is nearly nonexistant, bookmarks not re-nameable. Can't undo highlighting, no underlining, no free form notes to be able to add.Read poetry on a Kindle, not textbooks.
This is a great book. When I bought it, I was expecting a "typical" board-oriented book (short on many clinical details). Surprisingly, this is a very good source for general review of gastroenterology outside the board preparation. It has all the general information needed at it is very current based on the latest evidence. You can use it as a stand-alone source to read for GI and its size is very manageable. text is clear and enjoyable with good tables and pictures.
Good shelf book
