I get the sense that many people are rating this book as a Board prep book, but I don't think this book was designed for that purpose. In my opinion, this book was written to introduce immunology in a simple and concise way, and it accomplishes exactly that. It doesn't satisfy the needs of the Board prep-ers because they try to use this as an alternative resource instead of supplement. USMLE tests for and emphasizes very specific aspects of Immunology. While this book covers those topics, it doesn't emphasize just the "board relevant" topics since this book covers Immunology, not USMLE. It also comes to personal preference - for example, I like the table format so that I can compare and contrast all the different interleukins and such. I agree that this would be great resource for high school / college level. But I also recommend this book during the school year, before starting board-prep. It would introduce all the necessary contents in a simple way and make it easier for board studying later - it would trigger recognition, if not recall. Just as the title says, this book introduces Immunology in simple and concise way. If you recognize this and use it properly, I think you would be satisfied and get great results.

As a medical student, I have struggled many a time with immunology. During my first two years of medical school, immunology was a very difficult subject for me, and while relearning for boards, it was the same way. However, I picked up this book during my rotations to have a quick review for immunology during rotations, and it was great. The book clearly lays out the fundamentals of immunology, so simply put that even a non-medical student could comprehend the text. The diagrams were simple and were a great adjunct to the quick read. I used this book to review the basic cytokines, interleukins, and the pathophysiology behind the basic inflammatory response. This helped me to understand asthma, allergic rhinitis, anaphylaxis, and the four types of hypersensitivity reactions in a way that I was not able to before. I strongly suggest this book to BOTH medical and non-medical students who want a quick and thorough review of immunology. With immunology, there is a tendency to dwell on topics that may not be as relevant to clinical scenarios. However, this book does a good job focusing on the clinically relevant immunology.
