This book couldn’t decide what it wanted to be. There were sections that were very detailed and not clearly explained. On the other hand, there were sections that were lacking significant explanation and contained so little detail that it was impossible to understand.
Also, if I had to read ‘close proximity’ one more time, I would have screamed. Someone should explain to the author AND THE EDITOR that this is redundant. I circled those words MULTIPLE times. Reading such a poorly written book made me wonder what else was poorly described and possible incorrect.

The book is good in that it explains certain basic immunological techniques quite well in a descriptive sense (at least at the molecular leve), however graphically many things are left to be desired. Many topics like explaining detailed immunofluorescent or protein immunology, etc are woefully inadequate for any practical use. The first third of the book explaining immunological processes is hopeless and best left to a dedicated immunology textbook like Janeway or Abbas.
