Comecei esse livro com muitas expectativas sobre o conteúdo mas a estrutura não me agradou. Cada capítulo foi escrito por um autor e não havia muita coesão entre os assuntos abordados. Foi difícil terminar.

Slightly difficult to understand. You almost need to have a genetic background to understand it. I'm a Molecular Biologist and a lot of it went over my head still.
