This class-tested and successful textbook synthesizes the established facts of immunology into a comprehensible, coherent, and up-to-date account of how the immune system works, rather than presenting immunology as a chronology of experiments and discoveries.

Book came in much worse condition than described. Pages are falling out and nearly everything is highlighted.

Decent, but by far the best available by A. Martinez (IL)  4 Stars
August 03, 2009
This book will not rival the simplicity of Klein's reviews of organic chemistry, or the detail of Grey's Anatomy. However it is by far the best immunology book availabe currently, and at a very affordable price as science text books go. The author borrows diagrams and charts from more complete (and much more detailed) Immuno text books, and condenses chapter information very well without missing out on important details. The only downsides are that it is slightly outdated (Tregs, and T-cell production mostly) and I found it had too few real life examples, when such examples applied. In short, if you need an extra text to bolster your immuno knowledge and don't want to read too many useless details this one should do the job, and it's cheap too!

dense! poor reading by Young Doc (Chicago, IL)  2 Stars
February 06, 2009
I am a second year medical student, and bought this as an accompaniment to the class notes. I found it too dense to be useful, and overpriced for the amount of book you receive (especially as a softcover). As long as your class notes are good, I would not recommend this book. As an aside, I have read Robbins Basic Pathology cover-to-cover, so I'm not just saying I don't like to read in addition to notes...I just really hated this book.
