Jan 08, Alexander Temerev rated it it was amazing. This is one of two books I know that for me is the model of efficient knowledge transfer. Highly recommended to everybody with even the slightest interest in immunology. Feb 25, Dana rated it it was amazing. I think it's my favourite textbook of all times!

Sep 07, Kai rated it it was ok. Yes, the topic is interesting. Yes, I read it for an elective course. Yes, it's wordy and overwhelming at times but informational. Delightful read. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in immunology. Sep 25, Samangie rated it it was amazing. Rough for the first timer, but the more comfortable you become with immunology, the more comfortable you become with this book.

I ordered it to fill in the gaps of our 'assigned' text in my immunology course. I loved it. Spent more time on making the details clear, which I appreciated. However, I could see how - if you're looking for a cliff notes version of immunology - this just wouldn't be your cup of tea. Only serious educators, and life-long learners need apply. I still pick it up from time Rough for the first timer, but the more comfortable you become with immunology, the more comfortable you become with this book.

I still pick it up from time to time to brush up on things that I read in passing. Nice for the devout audience. Jun 16, Robyn rated it really liked it Shelves: textbooks-reference-books. Bought for pharmacy school, used as a textbook for our Immunology course, but kept as a reference book.

Decent book, with a lot of detail. Some things are well explained, but some are very convoluted. Jan 08, July Oo rated it did not like it. I have no idea how to read a books A very good textbook, although it gets a technical for an introductory course in immunology. Very detailed book but a very interesting subject especially during these times. Really liked this course. Apr 13, Ravi K.

Avadhanula rated it it was amazing. Introductory book in immunology in the simplest possible words. It's like speaking to the author one on one. Never felt like reading. Good book.
