        4 out of 5 stars Good book.......2003-05-08

        I used this book in the last two weeks before the exam...some of the questions were kinda deceptive - they appeared easier than they actually were. But the selling point for me was that it was a full exam so I simulated the exam conditions to give me some practice with my timing etc. I used this book together with the NMS review book and the Kaplan Q-book, and I did enough questions to get me a 97 on the exam.

        1 out of 5 stars The worst test book I have seen.......2002-09-06

        This is the worst test book I've seen. It is a waste of money, but more important, a waste of time. The only thing similar to the step 2 exam is the number of questions divided in 8 blocks. The questions are poorly written and the explanations are lame. If you are preparing for the step 2, try the Mock exam by Brochert or the Q book from Kaplan (or even better the simulated step 2 CD-ROM).

        5 out of 5 stars 2000 Edition is Excellent.......2000-12-19

        This book is GOOD practice test for Step 2. It's set up just like the Step 2 exam with 8 blocks of 50 questions. Every question is a clinical vignette and the format of the questions is very typical of Step 2, i.e., "What is the diagnosis?" and "What is the next step?" It's definitely worth the the $25 that amazon is selling it for.

        Book Description

        Now, more than ever, medical students are being asked to not only comprehend the clincial science subjects, but to apply this knowledge in clinical situations. This change is reflected through the use of clinical vignettes in course exams as well as in the USMLE Step 2 (approximately 60-65% of the actual exam). Culled from the 8 PreTest Clinical Science titles, 350 clinical scenarios help the student to logically apply basic science knowledge to real-life situations.

                                            Sarah Dunant's Mapping the Edge explores the best of two worlds, offering readers a suspenseful, eerie plot and a delicately nuanced exploration of the kinds of prickly, challenging ideas that, sadly, usually lie outside the province of the traditional thriller.

                                            When Anna decides to take an impromptu trip to Italy, she packs her bag, leaves her 6-year-old daughter, Lily, at home with close friends, and steps onto the plane. She's always been a woman of action, and her personal and professional lives have been filled to overflowing recently. So her friends Paul and Estella think nothing of the jaunt--it's a well-deserved break, a weekend for psychic refreshment, a brief step outside reality.

                                            But a disappearance? When Anna fails to return, Paul and Estella make excuses, to themselves and to Lily. When the weekend stretches toward a week, the possibility of her permanent absence becomes hauntingly real. Dunant takes that absence and weaves together a pair of possible "explanations," playing out alternating scenarios of seduction (Anna in the throes of a disturbingly passionate, illicit affair) and abduction (Anna in the grasp of a stranger whose cordiality turns gradually to madness).

                                            The narratives are both twinned and twinning, less separate alternative accounts than a dialogue, with moments, objects, and phrases that serve as uncanny mirrors between the two. Dunant is indeed a skilled mapmaker--her novel maps the edge of the self, its boundaries that so often go unquestioned. Anna's sojourn in Italy is an excavation of the threat of being defined by one's relationship to others and the temptation to redefine oneself beyond the restrictions of conventional expectation, no matter how seductive, how forceful, that convention. --Kelly Flynn

                                            Book Description

                                            Anna, a self-sufficient and reliable single mother, packs her bags one day for a short vacation to Italy. She leaves her beloved daughter at home in London with good friends. When Anna doesn’t return, everyone begins to make excuses, until the likelihood that she might not come back at all becomes chillingly clear. In this dazzling work of suspense, Sarah Dunant interweaves parallel narratives that are stretched taut with tension even as they raise difficult questions about love, trust, and accountability. We are challenged, unnerved, and ultimately exhilarated as Dunant redefines the boundaries of the psychological thriller.

                                            i thoroughly enjoyed this book. character, dialogue, suspence- perfect. i loved the concept that either of the anna scenarios might be happening and her loved ones had no way to know. i was ok with the ambiguity of never knowing which was the truth because that seemed to be the point of the story: when people disappear, there are no answers. i expected the character to die and for her loved ones to have no way to piece the story together. but what happens in the last paragraph was so bizarre. who was the man? what does he signify? what is the point of the horse being splintered in the same place in both stories if she doesn't return with it both times? it was so well written- this was such a let down.

                                            What a strange story for a writer to concoct who has done a brilliant job at historical fiction. My best book of 2006 - "In the Company of the Courtesan" - prompted me to read "Mapping the Edge". I was so impressed with both "Birth of Venus" and "Courtesan" that I gave the books to a number of friends for Christmas......but dear me what a disappointment reading Dunant's attempt at contemporary suspense - if you could call it suspense. I understand what she was trying to do - with the parallel Anna plots, I think? - I still don't understand the last scene in the book with the fellow taking off with a package from the telephone bank? Was the wooden horse intended for Lily, the package? Did it contain or was it another precious art work that her paramour was trying to get out of Florence or perhaps Samuel and the Italian lunatic were in cahoots? Hey, anything's possible in this novel....Dear me, what a confusing plot.....what a disapointment - Sarah stick with your best genre - Historical Fiction - I look forward to your next HF novel. jrl

                                            1 out of 5 stars Confusing!.......2007-05-21

                                            This is a very strange book. I read it in one afternoon - not because it was rivating but more to not have to prolong the agony. The idea of slipping between the character's 'home' and the 'away' part where we see what the character is going through, is a fine idea. However, we have two 'away' parts and at first I thought we had to chose which we liked best (neither).
                                            First book I've read by Ms. Dunant and it most likely will be the last.







                                            3 out of 5 stars Elegant writing, but plot was lacking..........2007-03-14

                                            While Mapping the Edge by Sarah Dunant is elegantly written, I'm afraid that I just didn't enjoy the plot which was confusing at times. It was a mystery of sorts, but at the end, it's still not really solved.

                                            Anna Franklin is a single mother, living in London with her six year old daughter, Lily. Also living with her part-time is her gay friend, Paul--who also serves as Lily's adopted father. Anna plans a super-secret trip to Florence, Italy. Nobody knows why she is going (work vs. pleasure). The hotel phone number she left for Paul doesn't work. When Anna doesn't come home when expected, Paul calls in Anna's best friend, Estella. They call the police, fearing that something terrible has happened to their friend.

                                            Mapping the Edge is written in the first person, but it alternates between Anna and Estella. But when Anna is speaking, she relates two totally separate scenarios of why she was detained in Italy. The reader never does figure out which one is correct.

                                            Dunant writes beautifully, especially about Anna's love for Lilly and also, her friendships with Paul and Estella. Unfortunately, I don't think the plot does justice to Mapping the Edge. I felt like giving up on this book many times, but I am determined to finish just about every book I start. Things picked up a little at the end, so I'm glad that I persevered. Still, I'll be a little less anxious to read another Dunant anytime soon.

                                            I had a difficult time keeping this book straight. I never figured out the "reason" for the book. I read it for a book review night and the majority had a hard time with it.
