Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

There are more rats than those in the cages of the Massachusetts research laboratory at the center of Goodman's novel. Postdoctoral researcher Cliff may have fudged his amazing tumor-reducing results while his bosses are all too eager to capitalize on any discovery. Jenna Stern delivers a lively depiction of the high-pressure world of cancer research. Her narrative commences on a fairly even note and increases in intensity as Nobel Prize fantasies are dashed by congressional hearings and political realities. Stern does a particularly deft job with the heated interchange between Sandy Glass, a lab director, and an irate congressional panel. Stern does less well with Cliff, Robin and the other postdoctoral students at the heart of the story. They all sound remarkably alike, and Stern's voice is too mature for the 20-somethings. The weighted, even intonation is not the way Generation Y speaks—even the highly educated Ivy Leaguers on whom this novel is based. The abridgment is smoothly orchestrated with no noticeable jumps or gaps. Despite these relatively minor flaws, Intuition is an enjoyable light listen about a timely issue.

From AudioFile

Goodman's newest novel revolves around scandal in a science lab, where Cliff's virus, designed to defeat cancer, is suddenly successful after two years with no results. When Robin, another researcher in the lab, finds a second set of notes that contradict the published results, questions are raised, and answers are sought. Jenna Stern reads this story of scientific investigation and inquiry with an even tone that is void of emotional involvement. The lack of voicings makes the characters difficult to differentiate. The slow pace of scientific research is mimicked by the pace of the action, testing the stamina of the listener.
