    5.0 out of 5 stars great for the shelf
    Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2010
    This book was perfect for what I needed to get me through my neurology rotation this year. More focused than case files, and a better book for this particular rotation in my opinion. Lange clinical neurology is also a great book, but better serves as a reference for presentation topics, working with a particular patient, etc; it is too much for the shelf exam and most students would have trouble reading through the whole thing during the rotation. The blueprints clinical cases was just the right size for a casual read during the rotation, and paired with a question book (like pretest) it was perfect prep for the shelf.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Too many errors

    I'm on case 32 now (out of 60) and I've come across about 8 questions with wrong answers (each case has about 3-5 questions). The correct letter states one thing and the explanation seems to point to another choice. But, you are never sure since the explanation never repeats the correct choice (in addition to the correct letter choice what that choice said) in the answer section. Answers simply gives you the correct letter choice and explanation. In most cases this would not be a problem since you can figure out what the correct answer is by reading the explanation. But, many of the questions are things as med students are not familiar with. I'm pretty good at neuro and I find myself having to look up a lot of stuff that the question and explanations refer to. So, just be reading the explanation many times I still couldn't figure out what the correct choice letter was. Plus the explanations are not very thorough. It seems to speak to someone who's a 2nd year resident in neurology in order to comprehend some of the explanations. The content of the book is decent.

    I've found the Blueprint Clinical Cases books are a great size to keep in a coat pocket with case lengths that make them perfect for reclaiming a few mins wherever you find them. It can't be your only book for the clerkship but it's a good second book.

    The key to this series (like Case Files) is the quality of the discussion section and answers to questions. By comparison the Peds book was much stronger. Unfortunately the neuro discussion and answers are less detailed, fail to point out important contrasts and include more errors.

    Bottom line: recommended as a second book if you find yourself wanting to study 10 mins at a time.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Not for USMLE

    This book is too comprehensive for a Neurology Step 2/3 review.
    The content is well organized; however, as I said before is not USMLE format.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Help me a lot during rotation but mostly for the Step 2 CK.
    Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2006
    Neurology is a dificult material and this book hit the jackpot. The cases in this book are the one that going to show up in the exam. I used as part of my study for the Step 2 CK and I score a 220.

    Good Luck!

    3.0 out of 5 stars Too many errors.
    Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2013
    Pros: if you like things presented in a case based format as opposed to a bullet point list, this is helpful in that regard.

    Cons: as several other users have alluded to, there are multiple errors throughout this book in terms of answers and questions. I am over halfway through and would estimate there is an error related to answer choices in every other case. Furthermore, a lot of the questions are just written very poorly. While I don't expect these to be of the same caliber as USMLE World, I do expect to not be confused to what the question is even asking.
