Your Latest Science Book Read and Your Review

I though this might be a good on-going thread.

I just finished reading "Plant of Viruses" by Carl Zimmer
http://www.amazon.com/A-Planet-Virus.../dp/0226983358

which I picked up as a free ebook a while back. I loved it. 4/5 stars.

He really makes you understand that viruses are EVERYWHERE including having integrated their DNA into our DNA. We really do live in a sea of viruses and may have even evolved from viruses. The last chapter in his book is the mimivirus which is a mega-sized virus that more or less emulates a bacteria.

I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in the topic.

Now, What Science book have YOU read recently? and what did you think of it?
