RaveThe New York Times Book Review... a fascinating biography ... Subramanian...recounts Haldane’s communist adventures with brio ... A Dominant Character is the best Haldane biography yet. With science so politicized in this country and abroad, the book could be an allegory for every scientist who wants to take a stand.
Siddhartha Mukherjee
PositiveThe New York Times Sunday Book Review... powerful and ambitious ... an epic story that [Mukherjee] seems compelled to tell, the way a passionate young priest might attempt a biography of Satan ... a history of eureka moments and decades of despair ... Mukherjee stitches stories of his own patients into this history, not always smoothly. But they are very strong, well-written and unsparing of himself.
Ed Yong
RaveThe New York Times Book ReviewI Contain Multitudes has a terrific story to tell ... covers a huge amount of microscopic territory in clear, strong, often epigrammatic prose. Yong has advanced degrees in biology, and he is remarkably well informed ... He is infectiously enthusiastic about microbes, and he describes them with verve.
