Title: Best fictional look into science I've ever seen
Product review: Within a page, Allegra Goodman nails the bench scientist world. Within a chapter, she nails the institutional and political carapace around it. Within a section, she has you living with her characters, wondering about them, even gossiping about them with friends who are reading the book. In a world of ambiguities, Goodman shows us a meta-microscopic mirroring between what our cells and selves tell us is right, or legitimate, or relevant. Start to finish, this is a superbly realized book. One or two minor characters get rushed off stage or don't seem fully employed in the novel, but these are minor quibbles. I've sent this book to 4 people already. You just want to press it into someone's hands and get them to enter the world. I bow to you, Allegra Goodman.
