excellent for part 2

and for medicine in general. i found the echo explanations especially useful. however, its not fully adapted for the new style exams - there are still questions in it which ask you to give lists rather then choose best of five. think this needs changing by the next edition.

Expensive but a standard revision book for MRCP. Make sure you check it out.

not so rapid, but superb quality and breadth

The 1st edition of this book was an instant best-seller. It comprised 150 short answer questions with detailed answers and stunning visuals.
The second edition has more than doubled in volume and most of the cases have been converted to the 'best of 5 format'.
Unfortunately the quality of the actual 'best of five' questions themselves does not really reflect the complexity of the real exam. Perhaps too many of the questions are 'barn door' cases which are most helpful for when starting out your part 2 revision joruney.
The questions are there more to facilitate the descriptions of the cases rather than test the reasoning power of the candidate.
This book differs significantly from other part 2 texts with its inclusion of many 'acute medicine' cases. I feel these are particularly helpful as they cover the standard acute medicine guidelines which are tested in the real exam.
Overall i found the book slightly laborious but it was still an imprtant part of my revision - and i passed!
