Rating: Summary: Oops! You've done it! Review: Two days ago, I thought I had a great idea. Now I see you've not just conceived the great idea, you've already executed it. GREAT! That leaves just one thing - to read your book/s!
Rating: Summary: Winning Format Review: Well, all the reviews are positive for this book, and the book deserves it. The use of a cartoon stip or comic book format to explain scientific concepts is ideal and underestimated. A cartoon format takes into account human sensibilities, and is much more effective. After all, there's another reason kids like comic books more than books. It's not just the pretty pictures, it's the superior presentation. I think it's for a similar reason that you're probably reading this review on a webpage full of buttons and colors, on a vision-oriented operating system.In case other reviews don't mention- this book explains genetics in history format. So if you're going for a "bottom-line" type of summary of the current state of genetics, then there's a lot here you don't want. That's not so much a fault of the book, it's just something not all readers are looking for.
