Once every 10 years I don't finish a book I started. The comparison of the author to Jane Austen made me try to hang in there, but alas, even after 100 pages, I didn't care a whit about a single character (nor whether or not the lab results were accurate or not). Maybe if you are in this world this book will matter to you. But it's not great fiction to say the least, and to compare the author to Jane Austen is bizarre, inaccurate, and frankly offensive to the memory of a truly great writer.
