Bought this after enjoying some posts on the author's blog on PLoS (http://blogs.plos.org/dnascience/). It mostly worked well as an introduction to the field of genetics for a clueless reader like me, although it went into less detail than I would've liked in some areas (e.g. copying and repair mechanisms, DNA vs. various types of RNA, etc.) and assumed too much existing biology knowledge in others.

Gave me few great ideas and bullet points for my paper for my Evolution class.

A good basic knowledge book to start understanding human genetics. This serves as a preparation for my other genetics course.
