I highly recommend this book. It was written pre covid and this makes it even more relevant today.

Absolutely outstanding

This is a clear and well-written book exploring the immune system through the stories of several people, including a dear friend of the author. Unfortunately I am not a big fan of the human interest backstory to this extent, and worse, didn’t warm to the friend at all. I was expecting something a little more in-depth so it’s not the book for me and I will return it. However, I think it is a good book of its kind.

The reader is very good.

Not what I expected
