Table 4. Narrative remarks from students who read the book.

Themes Strong points of the book Weak points of the book
A. Schematics The stereoscopic structures are well expressed in the schematics that can be painted by hand (71). The two-dimensional figures are too simple for students to get the real morphology (65).
B. Jokes and mnemonics Intermittent jokes relieve the boredom (62). The humor and mnemonics interrupt the smooth reading; they are often old-fashioned (61).
Mnemonics assist in memorizing the anatomical terms (50).
C. Writing The English is logical and can be read with ease (8). The story-telling style of writing rather than the classical style confuses students (42).
D. Understandability One principle is applied to the different structures (13).
The relevant embryology makes the anatomy understandable (9).
E. Summarization There is no table to summarize the complex contents (6).
There is no paragraph to summarize each chapter or subsection (4).
