The Violinist's Thumb: And Other Lost Tales of Love, War, and Genius, as Written by Our Genetic Code by Sam Kean

4.0

What a fascinating book! I picked it up after hearing the author on a podcast recently, and thoroughly enjoyed reading it (and learned so much). There were parts that were a bit too slow and science-y for me, but the way Kean intertwined science with true stories and history was unique and compelling. I can't wait to read something else by him!
