it's so interesting

I have always been interested in genetic engineering but i thought the books that were written about it were so boring. Well i am just a layman and also a teen and this book it's the best ever. i read it easily in 3 days. I am doing an essay at school and i needed it. I's full of useful information about genetic engineering and devided into small sections in order to be easy readable. so i recoment it! it's a great book
