"Another masterpiece for those who contemplate further than their own back yard or even the planet. How can we know who we are without knowing from where we came? This is the force of this book.
I learned from this that we are unique in our connection to everything. And it is all backed by solid science."
"An extensive review of all the current hypotheses of the origin of biological life as well as an examination of the reasons why, with our current level of knowledge, we are unlikely to be able to discover an answer in the near future.
Excellent book with its only drawback its inability to offer a likely answer but that is not the author's fault."

"This is a wonderful book about the science of biogenesis. How did life arise? Where and when did it arise? Why is this such a difficult question? Paul Davies is an eminent physicist and a good writer; he makes sense out of all the issues. Don't look to this book for answers--you won't find definite answers. But you will certainly read Davies' opinions; he believes that life could have begun on earth deep below the surface, under conditions of very high temperatures. There is lots of evidence to back up this concept. This was a very entertaining read for me."
