I would have given this book a 5-star rating but for one thing. I found the plot to be a little too twisty and toward the end of the book, I had a hard time remembering the identity of some of the characters from the beginning of the book. Part of that problem is my reading habits. I snatch a few minutes here and there and seldom have extended periods of time to read.

It was very entertaining, however, and more than a little scary. There were two scientific threads - the ability to halt the aging process and the idea that we are merely vessels for the survival of bacterial life. Both seemed well-researched with enough probability to keep me reading. The big reveal at the end brings enough closure to be satisfying. I immediately handed it my husband and said, "You have to read this!"
