Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Great book for a first year medical studentThis book is a great tool for a first year medical student learning Immunology. The figures provide a clear explanation for all the different aspects of innate and adaptive immunity. However, the book is not very detailed as I would have liked but def gives you all the main points necessary for most classes and board exams. Def recommend esp for the low price. Rating: - Excellent and fun introduction to ImmunologyThough I have had a module on Immunology as a part of Biochemistry in medical school, my essential knowledge of Immunology had all but flown out the window when I picked up this book. It was an excellent re-introduction to the subject. The text was simple and clear. I whizzed through the entire book in a week and was able to retain a vast number of important concepts because of the book's amusing and colourful diagrams. The accompanying explanations were lucid and easy to understand. ... Read More Rating:  - Great review of the basicsI am a trained / board-certified pediatrican, and like most doctors have found that residency and practice have distanced me from the basics. I've enjoyed reviewing these "1st year" texts to help provide a more solid foundation for my clinical practice. Great review, very nice illustrations, succinct. Rating: - Good immuno REVIEW (not a text)Well written and with concise diagrams. Does a nice job of covering the pertinent material without going into so much detail you lose the forest for the trees. I'd have given it 5 stars if there were a comprehensive test at the end, but even as-is I'd buy it again. Rating: - Lippincott's Did It AgainI ordered this book as soon as i heard about it, i really needed a good immunology book since our doctor didn't explain it well. It is a great book with nice diagrams and loads of questions at the end of each chapter. This book made immunology much easier for me, i strongly recommend it for any med. student.
