English paper -
This is an excellent story autobiography, of a brilliant scientist, James Dewey Watson, who reveals the structure of DNA. But this book is not wholly about science. Far from it. It's about a race, or game, for the one thing that separates scientists from great scientists, the Nobel Prize.
The race is among five people: Wilkins, Franklin, Pauling, and Watson and Crick. And how do you win a race of such prestige?

Because even with Franklin and Wilkins' input, Watson still had to put it all together and make it fit.
