Good for med students
Reviewed in the United States on 8 July 2012Verified Purchase
I used this as a med student taking during our immuno block and felt it was really helpful. I agree with some of the other reviews that say this book leaves out some details, but I think that's actually why this book is better in some regards. Depending on how your course is run you might need something more indepth if your school really emphasizes immuno or or if you're a phd or if you're planning to do research in immuno this probably isn't for you. For me, our block was relatively short and while I started out reading Janeway's, I just didn't have the time. This book had nice illustrations which helped to explain many mechanisms and organize topics, and most of all was a concise read that got to the point. I didn't really use this to review much for step 1 but after studying for it and taking it, I think this is more than sufficient to prep for the immuno questions that would be asked on step 1.
