I purchased this book for my Microbiology class and it is very helpful. My teacher uses the same figures and tables as in the book, which are easily readable/understandable especially when you think of each process as steps. My advise is to buy the book if you need to and take advantage of the given website that is given to you in the beginning pages to test your knowledge.

I bought this version to save a little money. Its so surprising how much they charge for the regular hardback edition. I found that the only difference is the cover. Great Value. This book was easy to understand and I scored a 3.8 in my microbiology class! :)

A lot of times a text book is too wordy for someone to read and understand. I'm taking my microbiology course online and it was very crucial that I actually know what the book was talking about. This has been a relatively easy (as text books go) book to understand.

Chapters are sometimes lengthy but overall a good textbook to use for microbiology. Easy read and very easy to understand.

The book is not that hard to understand, it's written a way for people who are not major in medical field can understand. My professors are two authors of the book (student @ UW), the book & lecture together should be very easy to understand compare with other books that i have read. Plus, not everyone are going to microbiology field so there is no expectation that the book supposes to tell you everythng about microbiology. Plus, a good book is a book that everyone can understand.

Not difficult to read, i was required to buy it, and it's a lot easier to find what your looking for than in most text books

Used this book for an intro micro class. I really enjoy the human perspective- about a third of the book is about organisms and the diseases they cause.

The book arrived w/in a week & was a new book. I'm very happy w/this purchase. No problems here :)

I ended up not needing this textbook much, my teacher's tests were based on the vocabulary which I found on the internet, and the sideshows which I downloaded and studided separately. However, this book was still a valuable backup when I needed it.

Chapter 15 & 16 is entirely ripped out of the book. You think something like that would be on the description.
