Summary: unique, comprehensive approach to genetic epidemiology
Comment: the authors present an epidemiologic approach to the study of genetic and environmental factors in health and disease. The book is comprehensive and lucid -- and captivatingly simple. I find myself going back to sections of the back even years after having read it the first time. One suggestion: the section on linkage analysis is, in my view, not easy to read and digest as the rest of the book. If you look for texts on linkage, other choices may serve you best. For everything else (on the epidemiologic approach to gene-environment interactions), I know of no better book. It should be integrated with a review paper or two on more recent techniques (TDT, case-triads, case-only studies) that have been developed after the publication of the book. This book is in my library to stay.

Summary: Difficult. Not a great stand alone textbook.
Comment: There are some useful nuggets for graduatre students, but this is a very difficult book to use as a primary textbook for learning methods. It is also somewhat out of date
