Overall, I really enjoyed this book. Having worked in cancer research, it is amazing how Goodman (who is not a scientist) captured the personalities, thrills, frustrations, dilemmas, and downfalls that are so prevalent in the field. The ethical struggles of determining whether a scientist had fabricated results or not kept me coming back for more. My only disappointment was with the ending - I wish she had chosen to give the reader more closure. However, I think that was intentional, as was everything else in the story.

Interesting, illuminating read. Recommended.
