I really enjoyed her science discussions and found her descriptions flowing and beautiful. However, her tortured inner turmoil about being the oldest student in the class quickly became tiresome. It would have made the book much better if she deleted the whole memoir portion and stuck with the science.

Could have done with a little less of the back-to-school stuff, but I enjoyed the weaving in and out of microbiology and its day-to-day life connections. Overall a great high-level introduction and a book that generates more interest in microbiology as a result of reading it.
