Abraham Lincoln's DNA and Other Adventures in Genetics
This started out as fascinating. It began to drag and I also found myself disagreeing with some of the author's opinions, often given more or less as fact. I don't consider animals a wise choice for science experiments. For example, I just read today that they have found that mice do not react the same way humans do I think in lung and skin experiments, so labwork that has been based on those specific studies are at best iffy, most likely, invalid. There were other comments he made that bothered me. Perhaps more to the point, I found that much of his scientific lessons did not stick with me or resonate with me. Some of his what if type scenarios were pretty far fetched. But I agree that the basic premise of the book, explaining science (in this case, genetics) through stories is a good one. I'm a bit disappointed. For a book that took me so long to read, I wish I had gotten more out of it.
