I'm about to finish a very intense course on Hematology. We covered every chapter in this book with the exception of the first 5 as we were expected to already know that. Having had zero background in Hematology, I definitely found the book to be interesting but the amount of information is overwhelming. I have had serious problems with retention given the sheer amount of information I've been expected to memorize, retain, and utilize along with several other classes of a similar nature all at once. This is not a good beginner's guide to hematology, this is the type of book that will be great for studying for the boards but it's a doozy. I will be STOKED to move on to new classes that don't involve looking at this book anymore. Good luck to the rest of my fellow CLS students!

This is a great, inclusive Hematology text. I found it easy to read and easy to follow. However, I am a GenXer and was brought up reading. If you don't read, you will find it difficult.

The book is too technical and does not do a good job on teaching the material. This book is intended for an audience with plenty of previous experience in hematology looking for a reference book rather than learning material. I would not recommend this book to anyone who does not have a strong background in hematology as it will confuse you and overwhelm you.

This book is a very difficult read and has poor flow. Is not a good book for learning the basics of hematology.

very good

Perfect

if the front cover gives a reference range shouldn't the explanation in the book give the same range ... this book doesn't do that.
