Do not study over the summer.
Agreed - it won't help you and you'll be mad you wasted the last months of freedom. ;-)
I used "Big Moore's" for the blue boxes and it helped a lot. They are very, very high-yield for our exams. BRS is great for review, but if you're one that needs more content than an outline to remember things it won't be enough.
I have no opinion on Embryology. I don't think any of the books I had were very worthwhile.
You will definitely want a Netter's atlas. Your tank will need one, also. I suggest buying one and ripping out the pages to put in a three-ring binder. It will take some time to get it hole-punched and everything, but this will make your life in the anatomy lab much easier.
Anatomy will not kill you. It's hard and lab is required (and necessary if you want to do well), but for the most part it's enjoyable. Towards the end it gets really exhausting and you just want to finish....but you'll like it for the most part. None of medical school, in my opinion, has been nearly as awful as people were making it out to be.
Let me reiterate GoBaylor and myself again: DO NOT STUDY THIS SUMMER.
P.S. You do NOT want to use your personal Netter's in the lab. The ones that go in lab, stay in lab. They get disgusting.
