It's a tired trope for me, but at least there seems to be some forward character development at the end.Īs fitting for new-adult development, there are issues of love/relationship that need to be worked out, although arguably, they aren't the primary focus for this book. The more problematic aspect for me is the main character, Maggie, aka 'The Monsterkiller,' who draws upon two different tribal 'gifts.' As a character, she feels very New Adult, with unresolved issues from her teen days, an unrequited crush, and a extra-generous helping of rage, denial and isolation standing in for the remaining development. Much of this is alluded to, but not well explained (yet-hints are that this will expand in the next book), which is actually one of my favorite ways for world-building to develop. Setting is a post-apocalyptic world, after various environmental and political upheavals have fragmented what used to be known as the United States. The integration with various Native mythologies-I think primarily Diné, although the world idea might be more universal-is very interesting and one of the aspects that will make this stand out for urban fantasy and supernatural fans. Interesting world-building, taking off on the Native American idea of subsequent 'worlds' that happen with each upheaval (this concept is explained more later in the story). Kate Daniels fans need to give this one a try. Today gene-editing technologies such as CRISPR are already being used to eliminate simple genetic defects that cause disorders such as Tay-Sachs and sickle cell anemia. Doudna became an expert in determining the shapes and structures of these RNA molecules-an expertise that led her to develop a revolutionary new technique that could edit human genes. This book guided Jennifer Doudna to focus her studies not on DNA, but on what seemed to take a backseat in biochemistry: figuring out the structure of RNA, a closely related molecule that enables the genetic instructions coded in DNA to express themselves. It was The Double Helix, James Watson’s account of how he and Francis Crick had discovered the structure of DNA, the spiral-staircase molecule that carries the genetic instruction code for all forms of life. When Jennifer Doudna was a sixth grader in Hilo, Hawaii, she came home from school one afternoon and found a book on her bed. Walter Isaacson’s #1 New York Times bestselling history of our third scientific revolution: CRISPR, gene editing, and the quest to understand the code of life itself, is now adapted for young readers! Throughout, the story of Mukherjee’s own family-with its tragic and bewildering history of mental illness-reminds us of the questions that hang over our ability to translate the science of genetics from the laboratory to the real world. “Mukherjee expresses abstract intellectual ideas through emotional stories… swaddles his medical rigor with rhapsodic tenderness, surprising vulnerability, and occasional flashes of pure poetry” ( The Washington Post). In this biography Mukherjee brings to life the quest to understand human heredity and its surprising influence on our lives, personalities, identities, fates, and choices. That achievement was evidently just a warm-up for his virtuoso performance in The Gene: An Intimate History, in which he braids science, history, and memoir into an epic with all the range and biblical thunder of Paradise Lost” ( The New York Times). Siddhartha Mukherjee dazzled readers with his Pulitzer Prize-winning The Emperor of All Maladies in 2010. “Sid Mukherjee has the uncanny ability to bring together science, history, and the future in a way that is understandable and riveting, guiding us through both time and the mystery of life itself.” -Ken Burns The basis for the PBS Ken Burns Documentary The Gene: An Intimate Historyįrom the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Emperor of All Maladies-a fascinating history of the gene and “a magisterial account of how human minds have laboriously, ingeniously picked apart what makes us tick” ( Elle). decides to send a message to his friend M.
