The head of my department (animal biology at UCD) says half the department's already read it and the other half is planning on it. It's very interesting when it comes to transgenics and the ethics, certainly. Also the sight of this distinguished, very much no-nonsense professor squeeing when he saw I'd brought my copy to class was disconcerting yet adorable.
Also, loving Dr. Cale. She's quite madly brilliant - you have a good track-record of creating awesome, badass scientists like that. And the dogs are wonderful. Your use of animals is also great ^_^ (I miss Joe from Newsflesh. He was best dog)
My girlfriend and I have been squeeing over this book since we finished it. So awesome!
