Summary: The book really tries to be thorough, and the chapters are (mostly) laid out in a logical order. However, little differences in language throughout the book, constant small things not matching up between book and workbook, and lack of details as demanded by the National EMT test left me very dissatisfied by the end of my EMT class and National test.

Pros:
- Chapters organized in a (mostly) sensible way
- End of chapter summaries are helpful and (mostly) summarize in an understandable way
- Small dialogue/info/descriptive picture boxes in each chapter make chapters visually appealing

Cons:
- Dialogue/info boxes are visually appealing but do not always break up info (e.g. signs and symptoms) in the most understandable way
- Small differences of language throughout the book itself and between book and workbook give the impression that several people wrote different parts of the book and didn't check with each other
- Chapters are wordy but with simple language that doesn't communicate much substance or detail
- Workbook jumps between being insultingly simple to difficult beyond what was taught in the chapter
- Workbook does NOT faithfully represent the style of the National test
- National test demands WAY more detail than anything put forth in this book

My biggest problem with this book is that it was grossly inadequate in detail compared to what the National test demands. It's like learning in black and white when you're going to be tested in 200+ colors. There are somewhat helpful "On the Inside" boxes in each chapter, but even those aren't extensive enough. I recommend SUCCESS! for the EMT-Basic (2nd Edition) by Joseph J. Mistovich, which I credit for how I passed Nationals.
