The Code Breaker

The author does an amazing job of making what has to be an extremely complex science with a unique language, into layman's terms that a science fan like myself can follow along and understand the science theoretically but not necessarily the details.

I'm so happy to see a book about a woman who has navigated the male dominated industry so well! Not only can she stand up to male-bias but rise above that negativity by focusing on collaboration, supporting others, and mentoring.

I thought the author did a great job of staying in the middle during the divisive sections of the story. Not presenting the folks from China as ‘bad' people, but people with different cultural perspectives and emphasis and not making the European and American cultures as ‘good' people.

And I especially like that the author interjected his own thoughts and perspectives in the storyline. He wasn't just telling someone else's story but how their story impacted his own story and expressed his differing opinions.
