Kossoff, Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions, New England Journal of Medicine 2006;354:778 "The author blends together superbly evidence-based medicine, medical facts, and his own extensive personal experience. The chapter on antiepileptic drug medication provides practical information regarding the relative safety and efficacy of these therapies and has important clinical applications. Every attempt is made to highlight important differences in pharmacologic treatment that allows the reader to select the most appropriate drug for a seizure type or epileptic syndrome. This is an outstanding reference that will be of importance to the beginner and advanced epileptologist." Gregory D.

Richárd W. Newton, Royal Manchester Children's Hospitál, Journal ofthe Royal Society of Medicine 2006;99:42-3. "This is a remarkable book. It does not deserve a place on your bookshelf, but rather a place on your night table, to be read and enjoyed by all healthcare professionals who deal with children or adults with epilepsy." D.
