Simple, easy to understand

[Archee]

3.5-4 stars. Initially hated it but soon realised that it had a brilliant layout and great diagrams. The pathogen parade section is excellent. Sometimes feel like the information it has has is a bit shallow - especially regarding HIV/AIDs and the CNS infections, considering how much information there is out there)/. The subheadings can also be a bit strange. Nonetheless, it's pretty comprehensive and up-to-date.
