 Lacks Details, Thorough explanations November 22, 2008
If you are already familiar with hematology and simply need a quick refresher, this is the book for you. However, as a medical student learning some of this material for the first time, I found this book to be lacking the detail and explanations necessary to establish a solid understanding of the subject. There are a couple nice figures, but overall I recommend sticking with a text like Robbins.
 Great Book February 25, 2008

I am a medical student in Jamaica. I have found this book to be very detailed for undergraduate studies. I think the book is clear and precise.
 Glaring error in text about mast cells April 11, 2007
2 out of 10 found this review helpful
The first thing I looked at to check on the quality of this book as an overview of hematology was the information about mast cells, a subject I know well. There is little text about these bone marrow-derived cells, but they are said to be basophils that have moved into the tissue. It has been known for at least 8 years that this is not the case, and the hematopoietic lineage of mast cells has been clearly defined for at leat 3 years.
Someone has to write a better Heme book March 26, 2007

This book is average, at best. It is an easy read, but you walk away asking whether you really learned anything new. I ended up using Harrison's to study heme because I found this book very inadequate.
One of the best med school texts March 28, 2006
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
This is by far amongst the best medical school texts (not incl. board review stuff) out there. The 4th ed. covers all areas of hematology in a lucid, non-verbose style. I found it easy to read assigned sections for my Heme course in a timely and efficient manner. There is a good blend of pathophysiology and biochemical mechanisms essential to understanding disease processes; however, the presentation is straightforward. The text has frequent color cartoons, images, graphs and tables, which helped me visualize concepts. Moreover, modern diagnostics and treatment rationale are also adequately explaned. Overall, I am really glad i purchased this book, and plan to keep it for future reference.
