Helpful Score: 1

Although it took me a while to read this book, I enjoyed the story from both a literary and scientific perspective. I have heard complaints about the backstory elements, the character development of Cal's grandparents and parents, but I found it fascinating. I particularly enjoyed the section of the book about Cal's life, though, and his coming of age and transformation, and the blurred lines between female and male. I do wish there was more of that part of the story - I understand that the book was structured around the development and occurence of Cal's two births, but I wanted to know more about how his life unfolded after his second. All in all, a really good read.
