I found this book on the secret life a cells to be informative and engaging. Our understanding about how organisms function and interact is expanding rapidly. It may soon revolutionize medicine. This book explains the past and looks forward to the future. It took a minute for me to get used to the book’s lofty tone, but after that, I found much to enjoy.

Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review

There's some interesting info here. It's accessible to everyone, and the premise seems spot-on that cellular research is evolving in interesting and useful ways. I like every chapter, but they're short and I skimmed those that didn't hold my interest.

Thanks very much for the free ARC for review!!

I stopped reading this book at around 25% through. I did not see any cohesive story and I did not enjoy what I felt was ponderous writing; in other words I enjoyed neither the content nor the writing. Although the book does offer some good analogies to explain certain things, this was not enough for me to keep reading. Thank you to Netgalley and Rowman & Littlefield, Prometheus for the advance reader copy.
