The first half of this book is a fascinating, well-written, and useful explanation of the use of DNA tests in genealogy. The second half is an equally well-written overview of social networking. I think it was a mistake to put them in the same book; I learned a lot from the first half and nothing from the second. I doubt I'm the only potential reader who doesn't want to pay for an introduction to Facebook along with an introduction to autosomal DNA tests.
For now, this appears to be the book show more to read on genetic genealogy, so you should read it if you don't know much about the subject and want a thorough grounding before diving in. Just skip the second half if you know what a tweet is. show less
