In a week’s span, he uncovers the he knew far less than he thought about the protein he discovered, including its source.
This book started off well but quickly became too detailed. It lost my attention as I tired of trying to figure out what was important when so many details were discussed. I read the whole book hoping it would get better but it never did and there weren't that many exciting areas. I gave it two stars because the author obviously put a lot of effort into the writing. Unfortunately, it never engaged me and I found it a tedious and boring book to finish.
