Customer Reviews

A unique and meaningful view of genetics

I could not put Genetic Rounds down once I started reading it. Dr. Marion's story telling abilities captured the essence of each child and family, the difficult ethical dilemmas they faced and his dedication to being together with them in partnership on the journey. It is amazing. I think I absorbed more about genetics in this story than in reading medical articles about genetics. The individuals and their stories are so unique, they are unforgetable.
