Great book for a first year medical student by Mihir Thaker

5 Stars
September 12, 2009
This 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.

Excellent and fun introduction to Immunology by TinyPliny

Though 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. The book makes very few assumptions about the reader's prior experience with Immunology. Jargon, when used, is amply explained and illustrated. Though its labeled a review, I used it as a textbook. It's a nice starting point for someone with little or no exposure to Immunology. Thus, I would highly recommend Lippincott's Illustrated Review in Immunology a) as an introductory/basic text. b) to anyone looking for a fun but good introduction to Immunology c) to clinicians who want an essential grasp of the subject but have very little time or energy. d) as a starting point for generating interesting ideas in interdisciplinary research involving Immunology for researchers whose primary field of research is not Immunology.

Great review of the basics by J. Turnquist

4 Stars

I 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.

Good immuno REVIEW (not a text) by A.Reader

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.

Lippincott's Did It Again by Talal Hilal

I 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.
