I liked this book for many reasons. The author’s description of historical events and discovery in genetics is woven with his personal family story. Each chapter is captivating, taking the reader to the circumstances in which those discoveries were made and how the new knowledge has impacted our understanding of human traits and diseases today. I cannot remember how many times I had to reread some of the sentences just for the fun of how the words were put together.
