How much do you know about our human immune system, the system in your body involved with defending the body from germs, virus and bacteria? This book written by a journalist attempts to educate the general reader. The author Matt Richtel is a Pulitzer Prize winning and New York Times best selling author. Weaving in science and also the personal life story of four different individuals add a human interests angle to carry the readers through what is a complicated and hard subject. While preparing to write this review I found out that currently it is the number one rated book in Immunology. I thought in the time I read it during the ongoing Corona virus this would be educational for me.
