Dense text by HRD (Minneapolis, MN)  3 Stars
July 01, 2009
I am not sure what level this text is intended for. I used it in my senior level Virology course, but it was above and beyond anything we covered at the undergraduate level. I think it is better suited for graduate level coursework.

Has the information, just have to find it. by B. Turner (MD United States) 3 Stars
December 01, 2008
I used this book for an undergraduate virology course. The teacher taught the class by virus not how the book is set up. The book makes it difficult to find information on any one virus without having to read/search through the entire chapter only to have the piece of info you are looking for tucked into a picture caption. It is not a bad book if you want to know how replication works for all virus, just not the details of one virus. By the end of the course I hated the book because of the time needed to find anything but I'm sure that if the class was taught like how the book is set up it wouldn't have been so bad.

Great for grad students by Rosalind Franklin (Denver, CO) 5 Stars
March 18, 2008
I used this book in my graduate level virology class, and I thought it was great. I really like how the book is divided into basic concepts in the viral life cycle (i.e. entry, genome replication, etc), and then discusses the strategies that different viruses use during these steps in the cell. I prefer this to most other virology texts I've seen, where they just catalog viruses by species, and don't make connections between how different viruses deal with similar situations in the cell.
NOTE: I would not recommend this text for undergrads, however. It's a very densely written book, and covers a lot of ground. For undergrads, I'd recommend something more basic, like the Voyles text.

A bit conveluded by M. Hasty (california) 3 Stars

Has many diagrams but doesn't bring the point home. Even for virology.
