Book Review: Intuition

This novel had a slow start, but once I got into the different characters, I couldn't put it down.

All the action takes place in a science lab--which again, I was slow to warm up to...but once I did, I couldn't wait to see what was going on with the lab mice.

The book centers on four characters and how their lives and relationships are affected when one of them finds a possible cure for cancer. Well, in the lab mice at least. It looks at the moral and ethical implications of doing research for the well-being of the public (similar to Flowers for Algernon), and also how the media's interpretation can influence events.

It takes place in Cambridge, my old stomping ground. It's always fun to read a book and know the exact street, movie theater, and restaurant that the characters are at.
