So the first thing that drew me into this book was the cover. I am a huge sucker for a great cover. And the colors of this just pull me in. The second thing that intrigued me was the title. Being in the science field myself, I tend to stay away from fiction books that have anything to do with science. Because truthfully, it's painfully wrong 99% of the time. And that's what I thought this was at first. But when I read the first impression and realized that this was actually a book about work that is currently being pursued in science in relation to the genome. I knew I had to check it out. I absolutely loved it and can not wait to read more!
