Popular science books I either love or hate. Often the author is so patronising I want to kill him, or writes like a complete boring old fart and gives literate scientists a bad name. This book is good, though. Any intelligent person with a reasonable interest in genetics could get a lot out of it, and it was well written and engaging with only the minimum of bad jokes. Go for it, if the subject matter interests you.
Plus, any book that tells you how to extract DNA using only kitchen implements does get an extra bonus star from me :)
