Intuition Audiobook

" I like her writing, liked the concept, found it all too vague, though, and the conclustion unsatisfactory. "

" Very good writer, very depressing story to me. People caught up in frustrating pettiness that I wasn't in the mood for as they wrestle with science research, each other, politics, etc. I'm going to try another book by this writer. "

" Decent beach read for the lab set. Never thought I'd leave lab and read about people going to lab, but the characters are well-written and compelling. Felt as if the plot needed more resolution/got a big bogged down so it was hard to see the overall arch. "

" Wonderfully written, great characterization, suspense--good for discussion "

" As a biologist, it was interesting to read how a person from outside of science would describe work in a biology lab. The author must have spent a lot of time in labs observing because she does a great job in the description. The story is about research and ethics...and it made me think. The story is interesting, and its a good read, but not a top choice for me. "

" Good characterizations, interesting story, well-written enough to make me not want to put it down too much. Even so, more a book I appreciated intellectually than one I got emotionally involved with. "

" Wonderfull book, extremely well written, but I appreciated it most for its in-depth character study. This book is an ethical diatribe on character: both professional and personal, but more interestingly, the overlap of the two. "

" Didn't finished it.. too boring, at least the first 100 pages, and I was unable to make a connection with the characters. "

" This book gets 2 stars because the descriptions of the lab are fun and because the characters were not one-dimensional (although most of the time they were just annoying). I particularly disliked the conspiracy theory aspect and the inclusion of incongruous scenes with one scientist's daughter. "

" I really liked this book. I loved the exploration of competition, heartbreak, and of course, intuition. How much can we rely on our own senses, and how much are those feelings subconsciously influenced? What are the consequences of small actions? "

" Working in the medical profession, this is not very realistic. Good characters and interesting story. Was very disappointed at the end. "

" suspenseful, couldn't really put it down but also don't remember too much about it... "

" Sweet, good read. Keeps you going. "

" Lots of science in this book. Pretty interesting overall. "

" Anyone who has worked in a lab will appreciate how precise a portrait this is. Maybe the plot got a bit tiresome, but I really enjoyed it. "

" Good, but not great. A fairly light and enjoyable read. A nice "vacation" book. "

" For anyone working in research, especially in the lab, but also for a broader audience, the author brings her characters to life, with their motives, passions, doubts. I have rarely seen such an acute understanding of people. Great novel!!! "

" It wasn't bad. I just wasn't into it too much. "

" it was an interesting look into the world of academic research and i was invested in the characters, but nothing really happened in the story. anti-climactic. "

" I kept waiting for something exciting to happen but it never really did. "

" This book was very well written, but there was no ending. There was no closure. I wasn't a huge fan. "

" I loved this book, both because of the writing and the premise. Goodman usually writes (quite beautifully) about Jewish families and their intricacies, but this one was a bit of a departure into academia. Highly recommend. "

" I enjoyed this book, although not as much as The Cookbook Collector. Set in a lab, Intuition follows a group of scientists and how they come together and fall apart after one of their own challenges amazing research results. The characters are sad, but the books language was wonderful. "

" Fascinating plot exposing the pressures of the world of research. Anyone involved in graduate or university life will appreciate the temptations, hours and anxiety of the post doc student characters. "

" Who doesn't like a book about the quirkiness of academics and academia? "

" I liked this. Morally muddy, non-simplistic novel that works as a thriller. Bonus points for being the only book I can think of that features believable, non-cipher scientist characters. People rather than plot devices. And nicely written. "

" A little slow at the beginning, but a page-turner for most of it. "
