Though informative, even as a biotechnologist, just the very first chapter puts me to sleep. And this is coming from someone who loves molecular biology. Please make biology sound like biology instead of you know, a scientific journal text. And for a beginner, shouldn't you make biology be understandable at layman's terms? Disappointing. And I didn't even get to the bioinformatics part yet. :(

From the back:
"Avoid non-essential coverage yet fully describes the field for beginners - in approximately 200 pages of text"
Is exactly what I got. The book gives a high level overview of the history, current problems, and future considerations for the reader. I'm a seasoned Computer Scientist but haven't done Bio in some time and this book got me up to speed and looks at the problems through a CS lens which is exactly what I wanted.
