CUSTOMER REVIEWS (Average Customer Rating: 3.0 based on 3 reviews)

Bringing the rating up  
This was a very good book for my seven year old who is interested in DNA and evolution. It obviously isn't written for a sixteen year old or an adult but that doesn't mean it deserves a negative rating. It is perfectly suited for the audience it is written for and should be judge accordingly!

Evolution  
I ordered this book too quickly, I understand ...
When I got it, I found it is a children's book. (My fault, of course. And it IS cheap.)

Bones, Brains and DNA  
I have found the book rather disappointing. I have given it an advance reading, before giving it as a present to my 16 years old grand daughter Giulia, but I don't believe she'll like it. Particularly the introduction of the two mice, Darwin and Wallace, does not contribute to a better understanding of the text - just the contrary.
