Review # 1 was written on 2017-08-29 00:00:00 Kristin Jones Diane Aschenbrenner was my instructor in 2 major courses in nursing school at Hopkins. I got a lot out of this book while in pharmacology class. Diane may have a very strong personality that some may not agree with, she has a knack for explaining the way drugs work in the human body, why we give them, and what to watch for. I love her use of metaphors for describing drug activity, most notably using freshman at a high school dance to explain protein-bound vs. "free" drug molecules (those without a dance partner are more likely to cause trouble!).

Review # 2 was written on 2016-11-08 00:00:00 Rohan Raja This book is extremely repetitive. For the same drug class, you read about the same things over and over again. Although, I guess repetition is good and aids in memory. But I still hated the book.
