I like this anthology too much to even start expressing myself.

[Philip · Rating 3 out of 5]

Типичен сборник с разкази от различни автори - има и много добри попадения, има и пълни бози. За щастие последните не надделяват, но за беля и първите нямат надмощие, та като цяло, средна работа.

More great short stories, you can tell I like shorts....
Most of them were good.

A varied selection of stories on the theme of genetics. Some stories clearly required a better understanding of genetics and biology than this reader has, while others were easily understandable and enjoyable to anyone. Reccomended for those with an interest in genetics and biology, others might loose interest early on - which would be a shame, as the easily accessible stories are in the back.

Not great, but fun for a casual read, with the occasional gem (Written in Blood, Pipes of Pan).
