Great Seller by Katherine E. Larrimore  5 Stars

Good start by J. Czapnik (Collegeville, PA USA)  4 Stars
September 26, 2008
For a student just taking one course on Virology, it is a fairly good text. The basics are all there. The organization and readability is expected for any college student with a solid scientific background.
Learning about virology beyond just a beginning course would obviously take a more in depth text, but as the title suggests, it is BASIC VIROLOGY.

Extremely basic, but hard to follow by Charles Facemire (Deming, New Mexico)  1 Stars
December 08, 2005
This text was a real disappointment to me. Having taught microbiology for a number of years and looking for something to expand my understanding and knowledge of the field of virology, I was sorry that I added this book to my reference library. All in all, I found it to be poorly written and only slightly informative; at least from my perspective.

Unorganized, Too Wordy, and Confusing 1 Stars
September 25, 2003
The information is not coherent and is scattered all over the place. Points that could be made in one sentence are stretched out over many paragraphs. Furthermore, the usage of words are often inappropriate in many cases (looks like the authors just ran a thesaurus check) which makes the text very confusing. This book is definitely not recommended for someone without a background in Virology.

A Great Textbook 5 Stars

This is a great book! The method at which the material is presented rivals that of medical textbooks. The graphics and illustration are great! Go UC Irvine! Spcial Events Parking Rocks!
