I read this book as a part of research on the discovery of DNA. It had more than just good information. The book was written in such a way that it made reading the book interesting. Most books on discoveries tend to be dull. But this book is more like a story, the story of DNA. I would recomend this book to people who are interested in the topic. My favorite part is the foward, it is so true that it is difficult to see the work that led up to major discoveries.
