3 stars (I liked it)

This book brings up a lot of interesting things to think about when it comes to medical research. I found myself really interesting in the story in the beginning but my interest did wane as the book continued. I think it could have been edited down a bit.

I initially chose this b/c, once again, it is Baltimore-based. But what a fascinating true story it turned out to be!

I enjoyed the mix of science and non-fiction family story. Both stories held my attention and kept me wanting for more. An update would be a great addition... maybe an online follow up!
