I have mixed feelings about this one. I liked the concept, and learning so much about transgenic concepts and really so much more about what we're headed for as a society with all these patents on genes and DNA structures, etc. But I felt the story was a little lackluster and not terribly gripping. Well parts were, but not up to par with the Crichton I have read in the past. I felt like this was more a vehicle to get his point across, which is fine....just different. I have to say that gripping or not, it IS interesting though - and I found there were lots of things I was completely unaware of that are going on in the scientific community. Things that could (and probably will) ultimately impact us on a personal level. So in that respect, I do recommend it.
