This is an abridged edition! July 12, 2007

FYI: This is an abridged, simplified version of Watson's book, edited for people learning to read English. I made the mistake of ordering it (from another source) without realizing this and had to send it back. The full version is ISBN 0140268774. Penguin should make it clearer on the front cover that this is not the full original text!

The Double Helix may be full of Watson's biased opinions, but how can there be any substitute for a first- hand account of one the most biggest discoveries ever made? But this is no science textbook- it reads more like a novel, about the race to find the strcuture of DNA first.Classic.

This book is a classic. Most nicely written, it is even funny. For PhD students it is a boost in confidence, too many patterns in personal interactions are just timeless.James Watson is a central figure in molecular biology and still most influential on todays politics.
