At Long Last; I have my CopyBy Stephen HeiseAfter reading the 1st 100 pages; Im so impressed with the depth of the research and seeing pictures previously unknown to most of the public. This book is thoroughly enjoyable with a unique writing style that flows effortlessly off the pages. It is hard to put it down. I dont know whether to race through it or take my time and enjoy the view. Having read virtually every other book on Gene; I was standing at my door waiting for this one and it was worth the wait. Stay tuned for further updates.
