Positives: Editing Humanity is a meticulously well-researched exposition of the ongoing "CRISPR Revolution" that has finally made genome editing practically feasible. The work provided an interesting coverage of both the early history of CRISPR as well as extremely recent developments and included interviews with scores of the brightest scientists in the field. The writing is solid, though not striking. Davies does roundly succeed in highlighting the significance of this fascinating new toolkit, and makes some of the scientist appear to be veritable titans. The narration by the author is great.

Negatives: The author has the occasionally-irritating habit of trying to force himself into the story, which is both distracting and oddly left me with the impression that he is a bit insecure. Examples include his observation that he used to be a good singer as a child, dropping again and again and again that he was Editor at Nature Genetics, and pointing out any comparison he could cook up with the central scientists of the story (usually having attended one of the same schools).

All told, I enjoyed listening to the text. I will likely recommend it to others interested in the field but am unlikely to rave about it to my lay friends. If the author is reading this: thank you for your incredible effort in writing and then narrating this book!!
