If you're buying this book, it's likely because you are training to become an EMT, and the book is likely to be required reading for your course, so the value of a review is questionable. Nonetheless, having read through half of Chapter 9, I can say the book is clearly written and contains a wealth of information.
The main drawback to the book is that there is often major overlap between sections within a chapter. Pay attention not only to the info conveyed, but to where to find it.
The chapters deal with discrete topics that seem well-defined, both internally and with respect to the other topics. There is redundancy within chapters, with information covered twice or more in several different sections of a given chapter. Maybe this could not be helped, but it makes finding info in the book an occasional challenge. I don't want to exaggerate this problem; it is intermittent, but crops up often enough.
As above, just the organizational problems within the individual chapters which perhaps couldn't really be helped, given the interconnectedness of all an EMT needs to know and what an EMT need to do on the basis of what he or she knows or finds out in assessing a patient.
