This is One Awesome Book !! Dr. Bryan Fry has so much knowledge on the subject and writes it in this book where anyone can not only understand but learn so much from this book. I am not a real big reader, but I could not set this book down the first night I had it. Great Information and an easy read !! After receiving this book, I am going to search for more books written by Dr. Bryan Fry !!

There is so much information in this book. We use this in a research project on synthetic production of venom, and we have learned far more than ever expected from it. This book really fills a void in the available literature, and introduces you to a number of the prominent voices in the community of venomous protein researchers.
