Surprisingly, this is proving to be a royal slog. The writing style is shockingly sloppy, and the 'germ code' is so far proving to be more of a nonsensical catch phrase. Very disappointing, and probably more readable and enjoyable for people who have no knowledge of (micro)biology.

Definitely uses alarmist hyperbole. I think the more you know, the more grating this book is.
