Negative Positive
Title: Slightly disappointing
Review: I was a little disappointed by the book. It is not on the level of most text books these days, which make reading scientific material a pleasure. This is usually achieved by many color figures, boxes with short explanations that summarize the central notion of concepts discussed in a chapter, and so on.Furthermore, the writing was very "dry" and technical. The feeling I got was that each sentence was simply a summary of a published manuscript , with no additional insights or any attempt to "unify" all the vast amounts of information on HIV into something more whole.I am now writing my Ph.D. thesis on HIV evolution. Unfortunately, I found that I prefer to read reviews on the subject rather than use the book as a guide.
Is the review positive or negative?
