An amazing read even for a person like myself who has never opened any medicine-related book! It was an eye opener as well as a literary feat! Thank you, Vladimir Yampolsky

An essential book to learn about one of the most important life sciences, genetics. Siddhartha Mukherjee is an excellent science communicator and historian.

Just finished this book - it took a while, and I made lots of notes as well. A very engaging book for anyone who wants to read about the history of the gene and educate themselves on the mysteries and future of genetics. The massive depth and topics covered in this book are impressive to say the least - Mukherjee has expended so much time and energy into this project, and the end result is amazing. Very glad I read this book, and would like to learn more after reading. Thank you for this great book!!!
