Customer Reviews

full of humors

i love the "get a grip on..." series! if i would choose one word to describe this book, it will be FUN. it's never too late to get a little extra knowledge here and there. with the "get-a-grip" recipe, you don't need to have a science background to understand cloning sheep. this humorous book actually makes science a happier subject. i had a good time reading it! i recommend it strongly, especially if you are a visual thinker and like illustrations a lot!

informative

Creatively written and easy to follow. Well pretty easy to follow for a novice reader of this subject. Illustrations help point out what the text means. You can see the British "accent" in the writing (for us Yanks). Very good book and it seems to cover the material well...rfb & llb
