This book is an absolute wonderful way to dive into the world of Immunology. It's super accessible and the colourful metaphors ensure that any person could follow.
Now this is very much an introduction, and reading this after a few uni immunology courses, I didn't learn a whole lot of extra details (beside the occasional fun fact). But it did very much put everything in perspective perfectly, it made me grasp familiar concepts with more certainty and in a way that I could now explain it to others too.
As an aspiring science communicator, this is a great experience and inspiration :)

I feel like I'm a college-educated immunologist ready to start diagnosing people right away (I'm joking). But Dettmer does an amazing job of simplifying incredibly complex biological processes—it's nonfiction but it reads as easily as any fiction book would.
