that's not a quebec accent...
As a canadian the narrator is physically painful to listen to. He couldn't be more american and he proves it by having evidently no idea what a french canadian is or how to pronounce any un-american words. The imitation Pepé Le Pew voice is like something out of a broad comedy and I have no idea how they thought this was good enough to publish. The narrator is just embarrassing.

Waiting for the movie
A great story encompassing Canada ..USA and DNA.
I had to slow Down the narrative....as he sounded like he was racing. The plot wove a believable reality bringing Nazis and medical breakthroughs.

Great novel with interesting twists and turns
Was a little slow getting started, but awesome once the characters and plot were set. Loved all the Canadian content which is part of the Sawyer joy! Who would think that DNA, Jewish death camps, Neatderthals and child rearing are related.

Decent story, sub-par narration
It's a pretty good story - not one of RJS's strongest, but I've never read a book of his that I disliked. However, the narration ruined it for me. The main character is French-Canadian, and the narrator is clearly an American who has never heard a French-Canadian speak. It was difficult to listen to his put-on accent throughout the book. Also, he butchered the pronunciation of a bunch of French and English words - dude, if you don't know how to pronounce "Québécois" or "phenylalanine", look it up!

Putting the Science back in Science Fiction
This certainly deserved all its awards.
Robert J. Sawyer deals with many critical issues in this novel: the Human Genome, health insurance, war crimes, bigotry, competition within the sciences, and ethics in general.
His interest in Homo neanderthalensis shows up here.
Sawyer has put the science back in Science Fiction with this book. It's very hard to tell the real science from the fiction in many places.
I have doubts about a certain action sequence, which looks like definite attempts at a cinematic experience.
Because characters in both this novel and another I just finished suffer from Huntington Disease, I have chosen to donate.
