Nothing is lost

This was amazing. Quite a small cast of characters covering a plot that starts with leukocytes gaining the intelligence of laboratory rats. By the end (I want to say more, but I won't) - the story has developed so much further than that.

I devoured this, and it's quite a short read. There was a paragraph about 3/4 of the way through where I expected it to end. I'm not totally sold on where the book went right at the end, but it didn't detract from the story.

An interesting insight into messing with things we don't understand, and makes me think of pandora's box.
