Customer Reviews

Syndrome

Fast paced as well as educational. The kind of book that keeps you thinking yet entertained. I couldn't put it down - as with all Mr. Hoover's books.

Highly entertaining with interesting ethical questions

Good read. Entertaining and full of genuine New York City detail. I especially liked learning about stem cells while having fun.

Up to date stem cell science

I was hooked by the plot line involving the latest stem cell technology and that's what kept me turning the pages. The author seems to be a little too concerned about dropping trade names, form Toyota to Science Diet, but clearly he knows his way around this science. The book underlines the promise of the technology but also the ethical dilemmas.I was a little bit annoyed by all of the convenient coincidences required to keep the plot moving.
