Why read it?

1 author picked The Compatibility Gene as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I love this book because Dan combines his passion for immunology with his own voice. It inspired me to write my own book.

Dan’s boundless enthusiasm for his field explodes off the page, breathing life into what could have been a dry topic. I learnt a huge amount about both writing and immunology.
