Well Written, Very Interesting -
A very good read. It's an autobiography, which tend to paint the writer in generous terms, but I think that this book paints an accurate and likable picture of Craig Venter for a few reasons. First, his childhood immediately grabs your attention, especially all of the what-ifs. Second, his actions i ... (continue)

A very interesting read. Extremely emotional. Drove home the fact that the soldiers in the military have a very, very hard life (and death) and had many of the same doubts and disagreements as the rest of us with the policy of their bosses who had a lot to gain (in any number of ways) from the invasion of Iraq. The first 100 pages weren't as engaging as the rest because a large cast is introduced in quick succession, but I finished the rest of the book in just a few sittings.
