• Slightly Inaccesible 28 June, 2000
This biography was not written by writers, but by two people who write. I enjoy biographies, and after reading The Double Helix i wanted to know more about Pauling, but i am a bit disappointed with this book. The science parts are too academic. The final pages of the book, where the authors discuss a psychological analysis of Pauling's personality, rather belong in a doctoral thesis. This is not a book for general consumption, but most likely for someone with a good background on chemistry and molecular biology, who from that basis wants to learn more about Pauling.
