 And Adjunct Book; Not Comprehensive in the slightest ( jj8881 )
The format of the book involves several high yield questions or scenarios in each subject as opposed to a comprehensive review of each subject. Therefore, you should not use this book alone or even consider it a main source of information. It should be view as an adjunct source to a more comprehensive source such as "First Aid for the USMLE Step 2" or "Step Up to the USMLE Step 2."
That being said, there are some nice features to this book. I did USMLEWORLD before reading this book and several of the questions I missed could have been answered had I read this book. It is very high yield and worth purchasing. However, I caution anyone who thinks this book is the Bible for Step 2 study or even if they think this book offers some "secrets". Most of the material in this book is fairly well known and obvious stuff but there are some useful tidbits in each chapter that is tested on that isn't obvious.

four to five stars
Excellent book for step 2 review. It looks small, but it actually covers a large amount of material in a reader-friendly format. Well written and well-edited. I would strongly suggest anyone taking step2 to consider this book before purchasing boards/wards, first aid, crush, or step up.

good review source
This is a good review book that gives you pertinent information straight and to the point. I recommend it for your last phase of preparation once you are getting ready to take the CK

High Yield, Yet dense ( derekh82 )
This book offers a Q&A style review for Step2
It is very targeted/concise questions with pithy answers.
I find it to be good review, but it is not a good source to learn material. In other words, I would start with a blue prints then review with this text.
