Summary: Excellent Book but crappy service by warehouse deal
Rating: 5
Book itself from what i have heard is excellent, but warehousedeals service was crappy to say the least, the code for web access for the multiple choice questions inside the book had already been used up by people at warehouse deals, I had to return the book and request refund
Summary: Online simulation helpful

I bought this book but didn't get a chance to read it before the ABIM exam. However, I was able do to about 1/5 of the questions from the online simulation. I thought the online simulation was helpful. The format is a little awkward and nothing like the actual exam, but I distinctly remember a few questions on the actual exam that were very similar to questions from the simulation. I have to credit the online simulation with getting me at least 2 extra questions right on the ABIM.
Summary: Not quite what I expected

My opinion might not be quite fair because I was not going through the whole book but looked up (proofed) some "high yield" topics instead, usually important for the board exam. One example is "typical pulmonary infections in cystic fibrosis" and I could not find the right info. That's why I sent this book back. My experience with the ABIM Exam is that you not only have to have the right amount of facts handy but also be able to differentiate between very similiar disease presentations, and that all in very short time. This is a tricky situation, especially for non native speakers (I am german). For board exam preparation you need a book that focuses exactly on these factors and at the same time giving you the right amount of facts . As far as I can tell the MKSAP and the MedStudy IM Board Review are the only ones that can give you that. Both about 400$ each!
Summary: Two thumbs up!
