Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website: Very comprehensive and up to date. I have to say that I am impressed with this book. For the long time I was looking for the book I could recommend to the trainees as well as colleagues. This book covers all important aspects of care of the patient with congenital disease from the birth into adulthood. The book is written clearly so that trainees could follow it without being confused or overwhelmed while seasoned veteran will find enough pearls and discussion about management strategies for different conditions that they (me included) will continue reading and using the book.
