Customer Rating:  
Summary: Well written with great pictures
Comment: This book is well written and has nicely detailed pictures of microscopic urines. I have a few complaints about how concise it is in certain sections. It was too brief when explaining the most often examined urine elements. I think that expanded explanations should have been included with bilirubin, urobilinogen, protein, etc. The explanation of the Ehrlich reaction in particular left me stumped. One or two more sentences would have made it clear.
The section on crystals was well done and the pictures were great.

Summary: More fun than a barrel of acne remover.
Comment: As textbooks go, this one is pretty good. I should warn you- pay close attention to every detail in the book. This book is not for the faint of heart- there is no fluff. Every detail counts, every fact is important. You won't find any extranneous words in this book. On a more upbeat note, the book is pretty self-explanatory. If your instructor doesn't do the best job instructing, ignore him/her (but don't tell them I said that) and just read the book- it does a very good job explaining things. Best of luck in your UA class!
