THIS one gets my attention. Two thumbs up!
Nicely done, but do I really want to read a book about filing?
Dan:
Exactly. Consider this paragraph from the review:
""Intuition," by contrast, is fuzzy. An anxious, ambitious, down-on-his-luck postdoctoral researcher suddenly obtains results that look too good to be true — the virus he's injected into cancer-riddled mice appears to be melting away their tumors — and his girlfriend, another postdoc in the same lab, comes to suspect he's fudged his results. But she doesn't know for sure: there's no hard evidence, just some sloppy, discarded lab notes that seem to suggest it."
What do "sloppy, discarded lab notes" look like? Hmmm...
