can't afford not reading it  
It's a great book,definitely.Interesting and easy to understand,it's the best for a starter-a scientest to be.On the other hand,it's not lacking depth at all.What makes it more informative is that it provides lots of clinical studies where you have a real feeling of human cancer.

This is a great book, it is very informative and interesting  
I am a student at the University of MN and I am taking the Biology of Cancer course from Dr. McKinnell. I have enjoyed this book very much and find that the information provided gives me an understanding that has helped me realize how deadly cancer is and how I can live my life to prevent it. I recommend it highly.
