    By identifying the structure of DNA, the molecule of life, Francis Crick and James Watson revolutionized biochemistry and won themselves a Nobel Prize. At the time, Watson was only 24, a young scientist hungry to make his mark. His uncompromisingly honest account of the heady days of their thrilling sprint against other world-class researchers to solve one of science's greatest mysteries gives a dazzlingly clear picture of a world of brilliant scientists with great gifts, very human ambitions, and bitter rivalries.

    I enjoyed this book and was able to follow along, but did get a little lost in some of the scientific terms.
    I especially enjoyed Watson's epilogue about Rosie. That almost made me cry.
    I would definitely recommend this book. I like to read some good non-fiction, especially after I've read/listened to a 'guilty-pleasure' book. Hope it keeps me in balance.
    So glad this is available.

    In this stunning sequel to the highly acclaimed Daughter of Smoke and Bone, Karou must come to terms with who and what she is, and how far she'll go to avenge her people. Filled with heartbreak and beauty, mysteries and secrets, new characters and old favorites, Days of Blood and Starlight brings the richness, color and intensity of the first book to a brand new canvas.

    I've listened to others, and this is the best. The other characters (yes, I'm talking about you, Reached!) don't have anything Laini Taylor's tough, funny and beautiful characters.

    Thanks for writing these, Laini! I will wait patiently for the final one (maybe not that patiently :-).

    The circus arrives without warning. No announcements precede it. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not. Within the black-and-white striped canvas tents is an utterly unique experience full of breathtaking amazements. It is called Le Cirque des Rêves, and it is only open at night.

    Pamela says: "The circus of your dreams"
    "Great narrator and good story"

    I thought Jim Dale did a wonderful job with all the characters, especially the twins.
    I enjoyed the story, little bit of everything I like, sci-fi, fantasy and love story.
    I really enjoyed the descriptions of the tents, felt like I was there.
