Great undergraduate level book. Easy to read and understand, as well as interesting (it didn't put me to sleep). Definitely recommend, as the reading really helped me understand the material of the course.

 I'm reading it cover to cover and it is pretty easy to follow, March 11, 2016
By Minamims

This book is really well written! I'm reading it cover to cover and it is pretty easy to follow. Its language is sometimes unclear and needlessly complicated, but technically correct and that's what you've got to go for in these types of books I suppose! I prefer the Sompayrac Immunology text which reads easier, but this one is definitely more detailed and better explained.
