I dont ever write reviews; I consume them. But I found this book to be so superior to everything else on the market that I feel an obligation to share my opinion. Months before I started studying for the Boards, I surveyed people from my program who had taken the Boards in previous years to find out how they had prepared. Many people had used the purple Mowzoon book. While everyone said without fail that the "list format" made it hard to retain information, they found it useful from the standpoint of being comprehensive, if nothing else. I flipped through the book several times, but I was unable to convince myself that I would learn anything from it, precisely because information is arranged in a tabular format, with next to no context, and thats not how I learn. Everyone I talked to said they had also used NeuroPrep, the only widely used online neurology question bank out there. One person even said he had used NeuroPrep exclusively, knowing he didnt have the time to read a text book like Adams and Victor, or the attention span to benefit from a book like Mowzoon. Somebody else cited similar objections to Mowzoon and said she had used Ultimate Review (featured on the AAN website) because it had more text than tables. Incidentally, both of these people passed their Boards.

I decided not to bother with Mowzoon, so I went ahead and bought NP and UR. As I started making my way through these two resources, I realized early on that UR is full of factual errors, as some reviews had correctly pointed out. How the AAN can endorse such a book is not the subject of this discussion, but suffice it to say UR is not a reliable resource. As for NP, I found the questions were mostly OK, but the answer explanations were entirely too cursory.
