A friend recommended this book to me and I loved it. I generally read page turners by John Grisham and Tom Clancy. What an enjoyable suprise this book was. I picked it up one lazy afternoon and couldn't put it down. I finished it by bedtime! I've now given it to my parents and all my friends. We're even reading it now in my book club. All I can say is - buy it and you'll love it!

Couldn't put the book down! It was such a fascinating story, and certainly a theme very relevent with the progress being made in the world of medical science. I'd recommend it to all my friends.

Dr. Colin's search for a way to save his life takes him to a new dimension, with the promise of new discoverys for the world. His journey began when his own body began to fail him, something was causing his major organs to stop working. As a doctor and a geneticist, this man devotes his life to finding what is causing this breakdown in his own body, and a way to stop the process, perhaps even reverse the damage already done, not only for himself, but for the world as a whole.

Everything is going well, he is excited about his work, about the results, then suddenly something goes terribly wrong. You will be lead through a court trial so riveting you will think you are there! You will meet characters in this story that will make feel many different emotions. This story of triumph and failure will leave the reader wanting more. Is there a part two in the making......? The writer made me feel a part of his story.

***** Stunning! Well, that would sum it up in one word but I get to say more than that. An incredible story of the search for life, filled with fear, filled with suspense, and one that, once started, the reader will not want to put this book down til the last page is read. The approach in this story is quite different from any I have ever read before. *****

I will warn the reader there are times when the "lingo" or jargon & the technical aspects get a bit, well, technical. The author is, after all, a doctor & a lawyer!

While the premise of HUMAN is pretty much already there in today's science, I can recommend this as read for somebody who wants to see one of the possible paths that science is now treading. The pitfalls, the possible outcomes & the absolute power to play god are haunting.

Give HUMAN a read, you'll enjoy it!
