 This book is quick to the point Jun 30, 2008
I hate most of my bio books because they aren't very quick to the point that we need to understand and know; however, this book is not bad at all. It could've been better and it's not as specific as my Prof but it's good enough to use for the couple next years.

 Very good, clear written and easy to read! Jun 07, 2008
Shalom everyone, I am a 4th year medicine student in Italy.
I have bought this book since I was about to start a rheumatology and clinical immunology course.
I found that "The Immune System by Peter Parham" is a very clear written book, filled with colorful diagrams and very simple to understand pictures.
Every paragraph starts with a subtitle, a preview and very slowly, it proceeds from the most simple and general descriptions to the deepest. Important are the short phrases it's made of, there almost no long complex phrases. Brick after brick.
The book is very easy to understand, yet very comprehensive. I read a third of the book in less than a week, and I found I remembered most of it, without even repeating it too much.
At the end of every chapter there are open questions with full answers at the end of the book.
One of the important qualities this book have is that it made me curious about immunology! I have already a B.A. degree from the Hebrew university and I have already studied immunology, but now, for the first time I find it interesting and complex, yet Peter Parham explains it in a very clear way.
I wish I had more books written by this author... I know I should write something negative about the book, for the balance or integrity, but tell you the truth, I find none. It's not cheap, but worth every euro.
Yehuda Malul, Italy.

Good Book Aug 22, 2007
This is a good basic immunology book. Easy to understand (even if your background in immunology is minimal). I will definitely hold on to this book for reference.

 immunology text Aug 01, 2007
this text is widely used my medical schools, however is is long-winded in its descriptions, which sometimes makes the key ideas appear elusive. i give it 3 stars

Excellent book! The diagrams are great! May 09, 2007
I'm a second year medical student and I used this book for my first year immunology course. My school has a strong immunology course and the syllabus is almost able to stand on its own without a textbook. The important thing is - our syllabus uses the diagrams from Parham's book! Now that I am studying for boards, I am so happy that I can I look at these diagrams to make sense of complicated immune reactions that I barely remember.
I was really happy I bought this book in addition to the syllabus b/c I just really don't have the mind for immunology. It's just not a subject that sticks with me, so I appreciated Parham's clear descriptions. If you like to really understand how immunobiology works, not just memorize things willy-nilly, I highly recommend this book. If you have a strong immuno course, you won't need to read the entire book, but it still comes in handy for the confusing stuff (eg: VDJ recombination, isotype switching, etc).
