This is hands down one of the best books I’ve listened to (Audible). It was well written and full of hilarious analogies that truly make it hard to forget. I’ve recommended this book to a lot of people and find myself talking about it frequently. If you love all of the great wonders of science such as cells, this is a fantastic read.

I imagine the feeling or reading a book like this that is simple enough to understand, yet complex enough to incite further curiosity and spark interest in a whole new topic; all while knowing that this is barely scratching the surface of what you are truly beholding. Is very similar to the feeling a normal person felt while reading Euclid’s compendium of mathematics. This is a book for the ages.

I find myself so excited to read this every morning. It’s so easy to read, and everything is explained so simply. Great for children and adults alike. I highly recommend to every human being.

Transforms a daunting subject into a captivating read, expertly unraveling the complexities of immunology with engaging narratives and innovative metaphors. It was a joy for me, start to finish. It's a remarkable feat of science communication.

Before I read this book, I knew little to nothing about the immune system. After, however, I felt like I’m an expert in immunology (I’m definitely not). Even with all the simplicity, it was very complex at times. Personally, I like complex things, so this book was a blast to read. Also, I have watched many videos produced by Kurzgesagt, and they’re pretty specific and complex, while also being easy to understand. I would highly suggest you go watch there videos (and maybe hit the Subscribe button?). Thank you Kurzgesagt and Philipp

I really like how you put a hard to draw picture into a good easy picture people like a kid can understand! I loved reading it and I learned a lot about it!

I absolutely adore and have a great respect for how complicated and complex, yet beautiful evolution made our immune system. Given that, I am a graduate student studying cancer so I found it a fun way to refresh on my immunology concepts!! However, the analogies did get a little dramatic at times, but still fun!!

The author’s use of metaphors were a bit distracting initially but later I understood they were an important part of the narrative. For instance, appreciating the number of immune related parts in one drop of blood gave me more insights on how to read an allergen test in context. All in all, an easy and educational read.

Pretty decent easy read

This book, after I read pages of the sample version, I think I am ready for an unprecedented journey of my own defense system... Came from the video
