An intense and interesting book about mutation. Not too complicated and well explained...A little too long.

I could not get into this book and I'm not really sure why. Perhaps I'm just not that interested in the subject matter I don't know.

I enjoyed the writing style although it was a tad overdramatic at times which made it hard for me to take the book seriously. There was also alot of the same thing being said over and over in slightly different ways which became really boring really fast. I basically skimmed through the last half of the book just so I could get it over with.

If you have a high level of interest in environmental issues particulary in the behind the scenes debating that goes on between scientists you may enjoy this book it certainly has very high ratings on Amazon. I would recommend you read a couple of chapters in the book store before spending any money on it to make sure it's for you. ( )
