I bought this for my son who had been asking for it for a while. He was only 7 (now 8) at the time but loved reading through it.

Thank you for sharing your amazing review with us! We are really glad he loved it ❤️

The Immune Book is informative and nicely illustrated. We bought it as a birthday gift as our son loves the kurzgesagt channel. However, the book came damaged. The spine had ripped . I had contacted customer service but sadly have not heard back yet.

It's a present for someone dear to my heart. I inspected it shortly, and the illustrations were amazing. Also, the print quality is great.

This book is amazing and one of a kind. It explains so many processes that happen in the immune system in a way that someone like me can understand. I was mostly interested in learning about autoimmunity and ended up learning about that and so many other things. I don't think I could have acquired this knowledge through other means. It would have required me to read many other books and put much more effort to reach the same understanding. You learn easily with every single page you read. There's not a moment wasted. Many books can lose your attention as you read, but not this one. This one is so well written it will keep you engaged. Illustrations are also beautiful and colorful. 100% worth it. It is really rare to find a book so well made and written. My compliments to the author and everyone involved in the creation of the book.

The cover wasn't fitted properly on the book. But other than that, it is a very interesting read, and I love how it is written in a way that makes it super easy to understand.

Really enjoyed the book; it explained the fundamentals of the immune system in really simple and creative ways. Only issue i had was with how it arrived - a few pages were indented because their pin got wedged in it. The EU team apologised for the mistake with the packaging and gave a 15% refund.

Hi Guilherme, glad to hear the book’s content was helpful and enjoyable. However, I'm sorry to learn about the damaged pages, please note that there was no awareness of this issue on our end, and no record of any message regarding it. Had it been flagged, a solution would’ve been offered right away. I’ll reach out to you personally to address this and make things right. Wishing you a lovely day!

My 10 year old son has devoured this! We are all more informed for it. Please make more!!

I love the book but I wanted to bring to your attention that you need to box up your book for shipping. Mine was shipped in a bag and there is a huge dent and tear in the hard cover. I bent it back in place and the jacket hides it pretty well but I'm a little sad it was damaged before I got it.

Hello! Could you please take a look at this complaint?

This book is the best book I’ve ever read in my life. I have always had a passion for the immune system, but found the nitty gritty details to be too hard for me to comprehend. This book both gives you a basic yet thoughtful overview that keeps you engaged the entire time. (Plus it has thick pages so I can highlight to my hearts content!)

We're so glad to hear that! Thanks a lot for your detailed feedback
