Intuition Review

I just finished by Allegra Goodman, which is about allegations of scientific misconduct in a cancer research lab, and the aftermath. I was intrigued by it because it had received rave reviews and was about an issue close to what I see - not that I see misconduct, but certainly research.

I was unimpressed. It's slow, plodding and predictable. You're not that interested in what happens, and the characters -- while some have interesting possibilities -- are not that well developed.

The only sensational event that takes place is a hearing, so it doesn't get too far fetched. But overall, disappointing.
