A softer, kinder version of Lewis

I felt Iggy (6th Ed) was an easy read and much more organized than Brunner, which i felt was all over the place. Im am actually using Lewis as my primary source and neither can touch it in terms of "indepthness." But talk about dry, Lewis is not a "fun" read. Iggy however, is a much more enjoyable read. Im not sure if im sold on all the tables and graphs however. I love tables but some seem unnecessary or distracting. I do think the way it presents Nursing diagnoses is comparable if not superior to Lewis, and definitely better than Brunner. I haven't read the clinical companion guide for Iggy yet. I have the Lewis clinical guide and from what i've seen from Brunner, Lewis has a bit more info.
