It's made me more patient with some of my husband's behaviors that drive me a little crazy -- I realize now that they're hardwired things, and probably not worth the effort to overcome. This plus "The Female Brain" make an excellent combination - a nice introduction to the neuroscience behind gender differences.

An absolute blast. This woman is crazy like I am, and it's always nice to know you're not alone. Lawson writes in such a conversational way, you can almost hear her voice speaking. Tons of fun.

Liked it. Not fabulous, but an enjoyable read that makes you think about the nature of loss and hope.

Fantastic. Just what I needed, and still need.

This was difficult to get into. It's an interesting story, but I had a hard time really wanting to know anything about the characters. I guess it jus didn't trip my trigger a whole lot. I'll give the next book in the series a shot, though -- there were enough good ideas in the first book that I have hope!

As an epidemiology geek, I found this description of how John Snow essentially created the science of epidemiology to be a source of much enjoyment.

Weird, but beautiful. Makes me want to read more Cunningham.

A fascinating look at both plants and what it really takes to be a scientist. Very well written.

I tried for a couple of days to read this, but just couldn't get interested. Maybe at 50 I just had trouble getting into the 20-something plugged-in slacker vibe or something, but it did nothing for me. Normally I enjoy books about the interaction of human and machine consciousness, which is why I chose this book in the first place, but I couldn't get past the unsympathetic characters and the irritating lingo in which they spoke. It may very well be a good book; just not my cup of tea.
