The Genome Odyssey provides a fascinating glimpse into personalized medical treatment by way of genome sequencing. We learn how science is advancing so that we can now tackle disease from a genetic perspective.

The content within this book will likely appeal to science geeks and anyone interested in an in-depth look at the future of personalized medicine.

I normally love books like this, but I found parts difficult to get through. The content is highly detailed and the writing a little dry, more textbook than narrative nonfiction, particularly throughout the first section. The patient stories are more dynamic and engaging.

While I do appreciate having learned quite a bit, overall, for me, the content didn’t capture my interest as I’d expected. Still, I found it worth reading, and I recommend it for anyone who wants to learn more on the topic.
