Aus den Rezensionen zur 2. Auflage: "... Zu den Starken dieses Kompendiums gehort die kompakte Darstellung der Leitsymptome, der klinischen Befunde, des diagnostischen Procedere und der therapeutischen Optionen fur die wichtigsten neurologischen Erkrankungen. ... Hilfreich ist das Buch vor allem fur Studierende der Medizin sowie angehende Assistenzarztinnen und -arzte, insbesondere, auch wenn Englisch nicht ihre Muttersprache ist, weil mit der kondensierten Information zur Neurologie gleichzeitig die einschlagige Fachsprache fur den Krankenhausalltag mitgeliefert wird, also zu empfehlen z.B. vor einem ersten klinischen Aufenthalt in England oder den USA." (M. Weller, in: Schweizer Archiv fur Neurologie und Psychiatrie, 2008, Vol. 159, Issue 8, S. 516)
