Entertaining and informative, sometimes funny. More challenging than I'd expected -- sceptical of epigenetics, bringing up some things I'd never come across.
A couple of times I did wince about the banter, but... Mostly enjoyable.

"Epigenetics. In the words of Inigo Montoya in the film The Princess Bride, many people keep using that word, but it does not mean what they think it means. Over the past decades the concept of epigenetics has caught on in the scientific world like a particularly aggressive rash."
? I love epigenetics, but this is not wrong.
Also checked out the further reading section. Whoa. This is pretty solid looking, while being fun to read -- and sometimes funny too. Colour me impressed.
I must admit I didn't expect to learn this much from a pop science book, particularly one as quippy and glib as this is at times. 👍
