Just okay. The concept is interesting, but the author spends too much time lecturing in stem cell biology and the problems with popular press and representation of science. Many of the plot devices suffer, because they are rushed. May be interesting to someone who knows very little about stem cells and their potential therapeutic use.

Really good medical mystery/love story/ethical-moral story. Fun quick read. Some complicated concepts about study of human genetics nicely explained for the layman. Might encourage you to do some good volunteer work, too!
