owlsinatree's review against another edition
5.0
Phenomenal book. It was well written, enjoyable, and kept me fascinated the entire time. I sincerely wanted to understand everything the Judson detailed in the book and to understand the experiments touched on. It is the best I have read of a book of its kind. Well worth the time to read it.
