A very gripping book that kept me turning the pages. Sleep was sacrificed on many a night, but it was worth it. A clever mix of science (not too much that you feel like you're smack in the middle of one of those never-ending classes, but enough to explain the beauty or horrors of nature) and fiction. Highly recommended!
