"Intuition is a book about a young man who works in a biological research lab that's connected to Harvard, and he's been working there for about five years in his post-doctoral studies, trying to find a cure for cancer. The main crux of the book is him trying to get his findings published and other people in the lab questioning whether they're accurate results. I was interested in reading Intuition because I've done a lot of stuff in a research lab, and you don't see a whole lot of books that have that setting. I'm from the Massachusetts area, so I could really relate to the different scenery that they had in the book when they were describing Cambridge and Harvard Square and all that stuff; and it was just an area that kind of struck close to home. The thing I liked most about the book was that they did a really great job of explaining these intricate technical details in a really accessible and interesting way. I don't really have a whole lot of interest in necessarily doing research with mice, but they explained it in a way that it became really compelling; and adding in the storyline, which was a really interesting and compelling story made the technology easier to understand. I would recommend this book definitely to anyone who works in a research field who enjoys reading because it's so relatable, and the inter-lab politics are so weird and specific to research labs; so definitely she nailed it. I would give this book four out of five stars."
