Rating: 5 / 5
Book was as described and received in a timely manner. Pleasure to do business with.
Rating: 5 / 5
It was excellent throughout but it needs to have arrows on many of the pictures to help you figure out what you are looking at and some of the diagrams are so simplified that its hard to figure out what is a happening.

Reading Murrays Microbiology prooved to be harder than i thought
I will focus my review in one “setback” because the previous reviewers seem to eagerly praised all the good points :
Of course the how-do-diseases-look-like pictures are extremly helpful but there are only few of them .On the top of that there is the total absence of illustrations for visual learning(so visual learners stay away!)
The very plus of this book is the summary boxes.Microbiology is a tough field with millions os info a student needs to know.At least that way the writters point out the basic that definately must be learned first.Otherwise it may be very easily to get lost in tones of information.
Furthermore i would like to mention the fine artwork and especially the front cover.It may sound dump but its a “psycological triggering”.It worked for me!

This is a very good book for medicine students. I’m in the second year and has been very usefull. But this book dont justify changing your 5 edition on it. Almost all the chapters are equal, with just some boxes with clinical cases, and there is no answers to the questions of the end of the chapters, although the answers are clearly in the text, the old one, or at least the one that i saw in the library, had all the answers whith some complement to the text.
