This book is awesome. Not quite what you'd expect from a fantasy novel, and the idea therein is not quite novel either. I won't spoil it for you, though (depending on how well-read you are) the premise becomes virtually obvious almost right away, and you can't help but wonder at the ignorance of the main character: hasn't he yet figured out where he is? None of that matters. The writing is graceful, the story is handled carefully and the ending justifies everything. Loved it. So will you....less

Covering a tremendous range of topics, from Nobel Prize winners to top-secret aircraft carriers made of ice to crystallography and the exhilarating beginnings of molecular biology, the book is not about Perutz, but about the world he knew, of war and science and brilliant people who make both amazing discoveries and terrible, deadly errors.
If you ever wondered what makes scientists tick and why our knowledge is the way it is, this book will illustrate it brilliantly from the point of view of one of the foremost minds of the 20th century. (Full disclosure: as a passionate structural biologist, I consider Max Perutz, one of the grand-daddies of the science, my personal hero. So I'm a bit biased.)...less
