Title: Hard to put down
Product review: It was a gripping account of all of the events that transpired during the human genome race. There were many characters in this book, most of which stuck around from start to finish. The book is told from Venter's vantage point. You know what the ending is already, but it is interesting to hear how it was arrived at. There were lots of interpersonal interactions in this book. It was noteworthy to read about the conflicts between science and business, public vs private sectors, the bottom line vs the common good. That is what I felt I really took out of the book, narrative elements aside.
