The story was full of awesomeness! Some chapters where about the Universe and saving lives. Fact: (It even told me that it took around 200 Years to find a cure for Smallpox!) As the book is Non-fiction I would rate it 10/10. It was very factual, as I do want to be a scientist. For me, personally, I would definitely recommend this book for anyone who wants to become a scientist when they are older.
