This is a favorite book of many medical students. Unlike most immunology textbooks, Basic Immunology has been written for its target audience, medical students. The authors do not target undergraduates or graduate students as they have another text for those groups. The writing is clear and the figures well planned. The book is a reasonable length (<300 pages), and it is small in size. The book covers the major topics in immunology without becoming mired in this complicated discipline. It is broken into major headings and the key concept of each paragraph is usually bolded. Students like these features because they can skim for the content that they are need. The combination of these points make the book useable in the context of a fast-paced, medically-oriented course. While this book is not a good choice for reviewing for boards, it works well in the context of a course.
While the focus of my reviews on the structure and usablity of the book (as it is usually the focus of medical students), I find the book up-to-date and of an appropriate depth.

Very helpful text, with many clear and concise diagrams. I thought it provided pretty clear coverage of the material we needed to know as a first year medical student. Helps that the guy who wrote it was my teacher.
