Title: A hard science thriller and a real page turner.
Review: A really good book. Darwin's Radio is a hard science thriller and a real page turner. The subject matter (how evolution may have ocurred) and the science (DNA, viruses, HERV) would be exciting in themselves, but in this case the science wound up in a first class thriller with lots of political intrigue. Although it was perhaps a bit too neat at times, most of the story seemed all too real, like it was from tommorrows headlines (I wish). BTW, although not explicitly stated in this book, there are lot's of problems with Darwin's theory of evolution. This book presents one possible (fictional) explanation. None-the-less, if you are walking around with your head in the clouds saying you believe in Evolution (with a capital E), I recommend doing some research into what we now know are serious issues with Darwin's theories. In principal they are a step in the right direction, but certainly no answer in themselves.
Is the review positive or negative?
