Reviews:

5 Stars: MRCS Viva Anatomy Gem
This book is great for the days preceding the MRCS viva. It is by no means a reference but rather takes a look at all the very common and often sneaky questions that just keep on coming up in the viva. Also covers much of the content that the Royal College emphasizes during its 2 week course. In summary extremely useful.

5 Stars: Must buy
This little book is a must buy. Read it twice, once the night before my viva exam, once on the train journey to Edinburgh. Good quality pictures and correlates well with what comes up during exams. Well worth the money.

5 Stars: Great anatomy viva book
If you have read your anatomy and want to test yourself out, this is the book to get. Many chapters on all aspects of anatomy, good structure and good pictures.
