I don't know or understand a single thing about any science and I was still able to read, annotate, and enjoy this chonky book.

Siddhartha Mukherjee itu penulis yang kompeten. Dia tahu apa yang dia tulis dan bagaimana cara menulis. Di Gen, dia menuliskan sejarah gen dengan penulisan yang memiliki sentuhan sastrawi tanpa terjebak dalam keruwetan istilah atau bahasa yang terlalu tinggi. Semua jelas dan runut.

So far, this is the best book I've read that cover the history of genetics and the general concept of it. As a student currently studying genetics and biology, this book is so refreshing to read and particularly helpful in organizing my knowledge on the topic.
It's so well written and the author is really a good story teller.

Wonderfully lucid science-writing. I think the first four sections are the strongest- when the author gets closer to the present-day and tries to draw conclusions, the ratio of information to text goes down considerably.

Such a well-articulated and interesting science book. The author has an incredible ability to create a sense of awe and fascination. I liked the personal experience that he added. The book really had me thinking.

This book contains a LOT of very technical information, but it's written and presented in a way that makes it readable by regular folks.
