Gripping 'Intuition'

Working in a laboratory setting can be alternately tedious, enthralling, disenchanting, cutthroat, and rewarding. Goodman's novel covers the spectrum with a well-written style and excellent attention to detail. As a former laboratory assistant (lower than even the lab techs described in the book), I felt the Mendelssohn-Glass cancer research lab, in its scrabble for funding and fame, rang true to life. The novel follows a complex cast of characters through the trials and tribulations that may accompany groundbreaking research findings. Overall, this book was well-written and well-paced. I must admit, I found the dialogue to be a bit over the top at times, but ultimately, it was a compelling work on an interesting and prescient topic.

A Great Read

I found it difficult to Put his book down until I finished it. Life in a Research Laboraory became real to me because the author peopled it with chacters I could identify with and understand despite my having little scientific background.
