3 out of 5 stars First reading difficult   June 16, 2002
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

More easy to read popular books need to be written about plants transgenics. I was thrown at first because the first couple of chapters are about failures to incorporate DNA into plants, but that wasn't made clear until later. So you were reading thinking that this worked. Some of the figures have the wrong numbers but I didn't figure that out until I was reading the appendix. The book gets better when discussing successful attempts to incorporate DNA into plants. A lot of this work has been taken up by corporations that tend to work in secret. No wonder the public is suspicious of Genetically modified food. I am thankful for the light that this book throws upon the topic.
