What I mean by 'typical 'Dummies' book', is that there's quite a lot of fluff -- of this type: "[new term introduced] ... I know, it sounds a lot like [pick one: a new dance step. the name of a band. a delicious dessert.] But it's really not!" Cute, but pretty extraneous. As always, though, I adore Rich Tenant's cartoons. I don't know how he can pull off so many truly funny single-panel cartoons on *so many* different topics. (He does the cartoons for every 'Dummies' book I've read. Which has apparently been way too many.)

This book on medical terminology specifically also has *far* more repetition than is really helpful. Repetition is a good thing pedagogically; but what the author has chosen to repeat is to a great extent the terms one has already learned from watching endless re-runs of 'Scrubs'. I'd have preferred that the repetition be saved for the more obscure and/or conceptually difficult terms.

The Kindle format is brilliant for books like this, on account of the integrated dictionary. Not only does the New Oxford American Dictionary include quite a lot of medical terms (far more than expected; it's pretty cool); if there's an unfamiliar term *within* the dictionary definition, one can place the cursor next to *it* for a definition -- and still return to the main text by clicking the 'back' button. Sweet. I have loved not having to pop up to grab the giant American Heritage off the shelf for the purpose of double-checking those word histories that I'm curious about -- or for double-checking medical terms I 'make up' to test my comprehension as I read.

My one serious criticism of the Kindle version of the text regards table formatting -- which is extremely important in this book.
