The Language of Life: DNA and the Revolution in Personalized Medicine Audiobook

" More a compendium of resources and anecdotes than a coherent book, but fascinating new stuff about what you can do with yer DNA. "

" A good book about human genetics. "

" Really 2.5 stars. Totally fine as an introduction, but too simplistic and educational for my tastes. Don't bother if you've taken AP Bio. "

" Slightly tedious.. "

" I really liked reading this book and I would recommend it to anyone interestedin the feild of genetics. Most of the information was not new to me, but it was a great review of medical genetics with many real-life stories that humanized the science. "

" I must say when this book was announced for our bookclub I was a little skeptical that I would like it. But I found it to be a very interesting read. I have always been interested in science and genetics I find fascinating. A bit on the science textbook side but an interesting read non the less! "

" The book was slightly scattered in topics and tended to get preachy about things like patents. Overall the book was enjoyable and the stories drove home the importance of continuing work in this area and how different medical care will be in the next 20 or so years. "

" Slow to move and mundane. Some interesting ties to genes but read like a bad appendix with little depth. "

" Pretty good introduction to personalized medicine and genomics. I wouldn't recommend it to folks who have read more than one or two books in the area, but I did enjoy hearing the voice of Francis Collins, one of the more famous leaders in the field. "
