Taught me about a rare disease.  But oh did this book drag on.  And I mean d-r-a-a-a-a-a-a-g-e-d.  There were too many characters and sub-plots.  Try to keep track of who's who -- when it seemed like half their names started with K's -- first and last.  Then there was an endless story line about was a drug company going to be bought out.  That had absolutely nothing to do with the story, and I don't know if it was bought or not -- either the author didn't say or by then I was too bored to notice.  I was dragged in by a very interesting beginning, but after that it was snoozeville all the way.  There was a major character, Tring or Trang (I forgot) who added nothing to the story, kind of like you add bread crumbs to meat loaf just to give it some bulk. Also, Tring was constantly referred to as the "scientist" or the "professor," once even in the same paragraph.  What was the purpose of that, except to further confuse the reader?Really, would somebody who has read it tell me why Tring and Fiona were even in there?  Or the Countess?Mr. Radford robbed me of several hours of my life that I want back.
