* * ½ * A research scientist may have discovered the cure for cancer. Or did he? And why can't his process be replicated by others? This is more a character- than plot-driven book. There came a point, however, when I wanted to give up on the book cause it seemed to be going slow, and the dilemma regarding the ethics wasn't that suspenseful. Kudos, though, to the author for creating these characters. They all seem like real people with flaws and virtues.
