The classic personal account of one of the great scientific discoveries of the century. By identifying the structure of DNA, the molecule of life, Francis Crick and James Watson revolutionized biochemistry and won themselves a Nobel Prize. At the time, Watson was only twenty-four, a brilliant young zoologist hungry to make his mark. His uncompromisingly honest account of the heady days of their thrilling sprint against other world-class researchers to solve one of science's greatest unsolved mysteries gives a dazzlingly clear picture of a world of brilliant scientists with great gifts, very human ambitions, and bitter rivalries. With humility unspoiled by false modesty, Watson relates his and Crick's desperate efforts to beat Linus Pauling to the Holy Grail of the life sciences, the identification of the basic building block of life. He is impressed by the achievements of the young man he was, but clear-eyed about his limitations. Never has such a brilliant scientist also been so gifted, and so truthful, in capturing in words the flavor of his work.
The final version was ready to be typed on the last weekend of March. Our Cavendish typist was not on hand, and the brief job was given to my sister. There was no problem persuading her to spend a Saturday afternoon this way, for we told her that she was participating in perhaps the most famous event in biology since Darwin's book (查看原文)

水平有限也可以获得成功的，成功需要运气，要学会站着别人的基础之上。作者25岁就发现了DNA结构，晚年却只能靠拍卖诺贝尔奖牌来养老（前两天的新闻），不免让人唏嘘。

无论是男人还是女人，最幸福的事情莫过于在死之前留下点什么有意义的东西。这位作者显然过活了高潮般的一生。

这段经历确实值得出书，就是感觉作者太拽，写出来的东西怕和实际有出入，明显有夸大自己，贬低他人的意思

不得不说沃森的书写得确实好看，但也处处透露出他的人品问题。书里涉及的科学家除了他自己和克里克几乎全被他写成了反面形象，而且对女性多有嘲讽。克里克的成果被人盗用他为之不平，然而弗兰克琳的实验结果不分享给他他却百般挖苦，好像人家欠他的。看完了真想大嘴巴抽丫的！

杨振宁推荐的：看了这本书以后，就可以了解到一个年轻的美国人怎样赤裸裸地把他们的文化特点讲出来。美国像James D. Watson一样的人很多，他怎么成功，有哪些要素，好的坏的在这本书里头都有。你们想要了解美国文化的特征，我建议你们去看一看。
