#1 Med Text
I love this book. I used it in my second year for pathophys and used it again during third year. The book is very concise and easy to read. I went throught his book about a total of four times leading up to my exam and aced it. THe earlier you start using it, 2nd year, the better off you'll be.

A book with a peculiar style
NMS Medicine is a book which has its own peculiar style that is a reflection of some of the other NMS books as well. The students have tried to master this book over the past few years because it is concise and has alot of MCQ's in the USMLE format.But now it has become very much evident that the book is not very helpful for USMLE because of unnecessary emphasis on low yield subjects and missing out on some of the high yeild material ,moreover many students find it very difficult to memorize the material presented in the book because of the one two three format which breaks the continuity of the text.

Excellent for cardilogy reveiw
If you want to do well in USMLE step 2/step3 the cardiology section of this book is your best bet,as it x-rays the very silient points you need to answer the exam test. This book is excellent overall, but may be boring to go through. Read the cardiology section and you will love yourself for taking this advise and buying the book.
