Although the race is interesting, the author instead of explaining a bit better all the biology involved in the book (difficult to understand to non-experts + non-native speakers), keeps on adding names after names. I understand that many people was involved, but it makes it super tedious, I almost left the book tired of reading names that I will most likely forget after just one page.
