You can't unread it." --Barrie Hardymon, NPR's Weekend Edition She has the keys to their apartment. She knows everything. She has embedded herself so deeply in their lives that it now seems impossible to remove her.When Myriam decides to return to work as a lawyer after having children, she and her husband look for the perfect nanny for their son and daughter. They never dreamed they would find Louise: a quiet, polite, devoted woman who sings to the children, cleans the family's chic Paris apartment, stays late without complaint, and hosts enviable kiddie parties. But as the couple and the nanny become more dependent on one another, jealousy, resentment, and suspicions mount, shattering the idyllic tableau. Building tension with every page, The Perfect Nanny is a compulsive, riveting, bravely observed exploration of power, class, race, domesticity, motherhood, and madness--and the American debut of an immensely talented writer. The #1 international bestseller and winner of France's most prestigious literary prize, the Goncourt, by the author of Ad le and Sex and Lies

WORTH IT!! 👍😷😆
Format: Paperback
After passing pharm 3 I still found I was having a difficult time recognizing which categories common drugs like omeprezole fit into. I'm at the end of nursing school and start my capstone soon. I bought this so that I will be able to confidently tell the patient about the medications I am giving them. I would highly recommend this book to beginners or even those done with school that still struggle with meds. Guerra incorporates memory tricks using mnemonics's and root words. There is even a cardio drug song!! Each chapter is divided into sections of the body that the drug treats; GI, musculoskeletal, respiratory, immune, cardio, and endocrine. Read the book slow, let it sink in, highlight and put in your own notes! I wish I had this 2 years ago! My pharm professor was very knowledable but went so fast that most concepts went over my head. This book allows you to go at you own pace to ensure that you actual absorb the information, so that you can retain it long-term. It doesn't have every drug, it has about 250 of the most common. There are re-caps and quizzes at the end of each chapter. This has been so helpful!! I hope it helps you too!!

A MUST HAVE BOOK FOR THE 1st YEAR PHARMACOLOGY STUDENT !
Format: Kindle
Been working at CVS Pharmacy for 3 months now. I am looking to take the PTCE Exam in 5 months. I downloaded the Top 200 drugs from the net and start memorizing it. After 20 words....the material was getting harder to absorb. Yes, I was relying on pure memorization. According to Dr Guerra, this ain't the correct approach.Then I came upon this book from Tony Guerra. Dr Guerra is right in that to memorize these 200 drug names, the data must be meaningful. The book has help tremendously. It approaches the study from a Physiology and Class point of view. I don't now how others are benefiting from this book. I bought both the audio and the ebook on kindle. This way, I can pronounce the drug names and know how to spell both the generic and brand name.
The real question is why this book and not some other Top 200 drugs from the other authors. I have seen the other books at Barnes and Noble. The other authors throw everything at you. It assume you already know some pharmacology before starting learning pharmacology. This book is indeed a relaxed approach. This book is the front door to learning the Top 200 Drugs and it is written in a layman's language in such a way that everyone can comprehend it. I highly recommend this book. A MUST HAVE BOOK FOR THE 1st YEAR PHARMACOLOGY STUDENT!!!!!
P.S. Just finished Chapter 1 and 2. Entering Chapter 3. The retention is going according to plan.

You will ace your pharmacology courses!! -- A MUST HAVE
Format: Paperback
I only watched one YouTube video of Dr. Guerra's and immediately purchased the book right after. As a pharmacy student I am always coming up with mnemonics to help me understand material quickly. I do this so when I look at any word I can quickly access loads of information about it just merely looking at the word itself. However, I don't have time for that due to heavy course load of pharmacology, therapeutics, and medchem. Luckily, Dr. Guerra and his students did the work for me! It truly helped me not just memorize but understand the drugs and make the connections quickly. It really is learning a new language but it's put in much simpler terms that a high schooler can understand. Watch his videos on YouTube to see for yourself or a snippet of the book on Google. This book is so cheap compared to the $200+ undergrad books you had to buy to get to where you are right now. I mean come on, I've spent more money on fastfood than this book. If you are struggling in pharmacology, this book is your lifesaver.

Nursing Student Must Have
Format: Audiobook
I feel that this book helped to break down all the different types of drugs in an easy-to-read fashion. As a nursing student, it is largely beneficial to be able to know the "drug group" from the drug name, because you are then able to make connections to what it does. I enjoyed reading this book and that it is full of tips to help memorize generic and trade names!
