For me a hard read (ages to read)but did found it interesting. Love the science and hearing about the process. A little negative in parts.
lautir's review against another edition
4.0
4 years. 4 years it took me to finish this. Not because it wasn't good it's just that I got distracted by other books along the way. I also made a really big dent in it when I was taking science courses at university but lost interest when I changed fields.
I don't read many memoirs but this is possibly my favourite so far. I might just be biased because of the SCIENCE though. Venter is a good writer and he does a good job of keeping the science exciting and explaining the behind the scenes madness of funding and scholarly politics.
