When my sister brought this inter-library loan home for me, she said, "At first I thought it was a thriller—you know, all those one-word titles—but then I looked inside and it's actually about adrenaline."
Yup. Not a thriller. I keep wanting to shelve the book as 'biography,' because it is essentially a biography of adrenaline. It's quite interesting so far.

GUYS. THIS IS SO COOL. "[T]he amino acid sequence of the β2 receptor proved very similar to the known structure of ... the eye protein responsible for detecting photons: Rhodopsin responds to photons by activating the G protein [that] stimulates biochemical changes that trigger the perception of light. In other words, the first steps in light perception are biochemically analogous to how cells respond to adrenaline."
