This book is handy in that it serves as a quick reference/reminder of a topic when you are on the move. It benefits from having lots of diagrams and a summary of important points at the beginning of each topic. However, I did not like the layout of the book and found that too much was being condensed onto a small page. It assumes a lot of knowledge and is therefore not useful for learning o&g for the first time. I feel the book goes into a lot of detail in some chapters but lacks detail in others. Overall, it is good to have on the wards/clinics but not something one would use for revision.
