I have Good Genes! 
Genetics for Dummies is a wonderful resource and quick reference in the area of genetics. The authors makes the reading easy and interesting by including tidbits of both applicable and real-world cases of how genetics touches our lives. The chapters read quickly and don't have alot of scientific lingo.

Just the book for a curious engineer 
I am an engineer, and wanted to learn the basics of this interesting subject out of curiousity. This is the perfect book : much more accessible than the textbooks.

Great Book!
This book is wonderful. I am taking a genetics course in college, and this has been a lifesaver. It does a wonderful job of teaching the material in a clear, concise, and organized manner. I highly recommend this product!

A page too far 
Unfortunately this book failed due entirely to the fact that it had duplicate pages from page 78 to 174 and pages 175 to 300 missing completely.

Genetics for Dummies 
The actual content and writing style are great. Easy to understand, even for someone like me who has been out of school for 25+ years. However, the book was missing 3 chapters in the middle. I ordered another one and it was also missing the chapters. This must be a publishing mistake. If that is corrected then I would give the book 5 Stars.
