If you had to pick just one book, pick this one.

I tried them all: First Aid Step 2 CK, Boards & Wards, Kaplan. This little book gives you everything you need for the actual exam. Note that it's the same material as the other Brochert books (Crush & Mock Exam). Couple this book with a question bank like USMLE World, you can't go wrong. You COULD spend more time reading the other, more comprehensive books like First Aid or Boards & Wards, but the yield will be low. Better to focus on the fundamentals because if you know those well they will be real giveaways on the exam. The rest is luck and test taking strategy, which you can't prepare for at this stage in the game.
Easy reading

I liked this book because at the end of the night you can pick it up and read a page or two and gain some high yield info. Sometimes at the end of the day you are just too tired to go out and read some chapter out of a review book, but with this book I feel like I am at least getting some high yield info that will hopefully help me when I am ready to start studying for boards.
must have

A treat!

i very highly recommend this book! has the right emphasis, and there were LOADS of questions from within these pages on my step 2 exam. Not only does it give you high yeild stuff, but it gives you alot of confidence. I found it more enjoyable than its counterpart - crush the boards, which has, basically the same material, in a different format. The question-answer style is brilliant! there are a couple of mistakes in it (eg-CSF pressure is written in mm Hg instead of mm of H2O...stuff like that) but you can totally forgive him, cos he's helpin you so so much!!Its a great investment. Much much better than first aid for step2Buy it!!
Excellent

This book is the equivalent of what First Aid was for Step 1. I just took Step 2 and this is the book to have. I just wish I had read it more than once! When combined with a question resource, like NMS, you have the perfect study material. (The NMS questions were a little bit more picky than the actual test by the way, but excellent in scope.) Secrets is concise and tells you what you need to know for the Boards, giving common clinical scenarios, etc. I highly recommend it!
