COMMUNITY REVIEWS
Disappointing submitted by pk on June 29, 2011, 9:05pm After thoroughly enjoying "The Double Helix" by James Watson, about the discovery of the structure of DNA, I was curious to know more about James Watson. I thought this book would be another interesting story of the author, the people of science and all their discoveries. But mostly, it's about the author and the picture isn't too pretty. He comes off as overly ambitious, overly arrogant, and not too fun to be around. Which doesn't make for great reading.
