It could ENHANCE your knowledge if used as a visual aid, although not if you plan to use it for its intended purpose ... colouring.
Colouring this book as a HOBBY however is GREAAAT! It is an easy to use colouring book with simple rules to follow on each page and some standard ones that span the entire book. It has summary columns on the left and the colouring pages on the right. You can easily spend hours on this and enjoy a bit of light reading (things you should already know for anatomy students but interesting to learn for the general public!).
Amazing for your mental health by taking time to zen out and be pre-occupied for a while. So depending on your intent for the book it could be either 0/5 or 5*s!
If you found this ‘helpful’, please let me know!

I'm enjoying the book a lot, and finding it wonderful for learning, but it must be pointed out that the paper is too thin to use my Stabilo 68 water-based felt-tip markers on, as they bleed through to the other side. Luckily, I found this out by testing the markers on one of the blank pages at the back of the book.
Pros: Images are printed only on one side of the page, but if you use felt tip markers and they WILL bleed through - it can make reading the accompanying notes more difficult. I have also tried using Stabilo CarbOthello coloured pencils, but unfortunately, the colour simply sloughs off the paper onto the opposite page! Ugh!
So, I'm left with making copies of every page, and colouring with my felt tip pens on those, because my printer paper is thick enough to prevent bleeding.
It would be nice if this book was accompanied by a PDF version which you could print pages off, thereby avoiding the aforementioned problems.
All in all, an excellent book and learning tool, and I look forward to trying the other books in the series: Physiology, Chemistry, etc. Just watch out for the paper thinness, and be prepared to do a lot of photocopying!

At my university, my physiotherapy society highly recommends this book to help assist with the knowledge that is getting taught on the course. and I can see why!
Pros:
- The book provides very accurate and detailed images, labels as well as a correct and very succinct description of all the bodily systems, muscles etc.
- very well laid out and easy to colour in and key the colours against the correct terminology
- Detailed lists of Nerve supplies and muscle origins and insertions (Very much needed in the physiotherapy OSCEs!)
Cons:
None! It's brilliant!


Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 October 2016


Page 21 states that extension at the ankle joint is called dorsiflexion, and flexion of this joint is called plantar flexion; this is incorrect and in fact the exact opposite. These terms are correctly labeled on the diagrams, however this would be confusing to someone who is not familiar with these terms, and makes me question what other mistakes are in this book.
