Wonderful book: Easy to understand
I have an advanced background in medicine/ nursing, and found this book to be PHENOMENAL. Reason being that my 39 year old brother with high-functioning Autism could read it and understand a bit about the disease process. He’s had a hard time grasping his diagnosis of Ulcerative Pancolitis, but we are guiding him through step by step. This book has been a godsend!

Decent book, but google can tell you most of this
Good book to have there, but very expensive for what it offers in comparison to reputable websites, doesn’t feel very personal either, more stating facts and not much else, which wasn’t what I was particularly looking for

Easy to understand
Written in a way that is easy to understand. The section on biologics is not as clear as the rest of the book, but it’s a good enough intro
