5 out of 5 stars Great micro book for medical students   November 2, 2008
Covers all of the "bugs" thoroughly with a clinical focus. At the end of each chapter there are review tables w/ info on the bug, how it presents clinically, and how you treat it. Has lots of pneumonics and different ways to remember the info. The book is in black and white except the cover.


4 out of 5 stars Makes it fun, and ridiculously simple!   October 14, 2008
A very helpful text for your first and second year of med school. It does follow it's title... ridiculously simple. Great to use in conjunction with class notes as you learn about all the "bugs." Helpful to get the basics and keep all of the stuff straight.

A fun read... very humorous with funny cartoons. Highly recommended and helpful!



5 out of 5 stars one of the best summaries   October 12, 2008
If you're a medical student, buy this book for Immunity and Infection! It simplifies everything very well and it's good to use with First Aid since both have summaries.


5 out of 5 stars Great   September 16, 2008
Easy to remember mnemonics and cartoons that you will remember. I only wish I had gotten this book earlier so I had more time to use it before my micro test.


4 out of 5 stars Micro Book   September 15, 2008
Very good book. Just started using it for class, and it makes it a lot easier to follow the course. It "dumbs" it down so it's not so complicated (which it shouldn't be in the first place!). Diagrams are nice, and easy to remember. There are several mnemonics to associate and remember things. Would suggest this book for medical school as well as undergraduate microbiology.
