Hi my name is A-U-D-R-E-I
Audrei and welcome to my channel CharisseAudrei. Today
I'm gonna come to you with a book review, and that is The Science of Orphan Black the Companion
The Official Companion, The Official Companion. I am a big
Fan of Orphan Black. I love Orphan Black. I'll rewatch it and over and over again
But I haven't watched the 5th season
And I'm waiting for that to come on Amazon Prime. So I can do that and binge it
But this book starting off says that it will be
You'll be spoiled if you haven't seen this show
So I recommend to watch the show because I was spoiled in season five, but I do not care. I do not care.
First, I wanted to tell you guys that
this show is a good conversation starter for professors. That people are, you know,
wanting to get into genetics or biology
and that sorts of stuff. I do have one book from a professor, and I've read it last year. It's What We Talk About
When We Talk About Clone Club and
This was good read. I put a lot of tabs in it and
That is just amazing that it's a good conversation starters and
professors like this one
Gregory E Pence PHd
is
talking about it in his class.
This book came out June 13th of this year, so it is a new release and
I'm happy to have it in my hands. I also tab this book as well in this book it has. Here's the back,
front.
This book has lovely pictures of the show.
I've been
Posting this to my Instagram stories, so if you follow me on there you probably might seen a lot of this
these pictures I
highlighted in this book I
can't wait to reread this book.
hopefully after I watched season 5.
It has seven chapters in it and each chapter to discuss about different things in different science
fields, kind of.
Chapter one is How Many of Us Are There. The history and
Science of Clones. Chapter two is
There's Only One of Me. Nature Versus Nurture.
Chapter three is You're Just A Bad Copy of Me.
About Kendall Malone :
One person two cell lines.
Chapter four is
This Is My Biology
My Decision.
Chapter five
My Poor Poor Rachel. Chapter six Your Little Girls Are Dying.
Chapter seven And We Here Shall Drink From the Fountain
First.
And at the end it has the conversation of the real Cosima and one of the co-creators.
The real Cosima did, did the foreword of this book and
She is the science consultant, and she is not a scientist at all.
So.
What I learned about this book is I learned about a Dolly The Sheep, The First Cloned Dog.
Dolly The Sheep was the first clone animal in history and I learned about

When you have fraternal twins
and one is the opposite sex of the other one and you just have come out with one, baby
What's it called? (The Vanishing twins syndrome)
When you have fraternal twins sometimes the other one
Observe the other. So they get two genes there, so that's why there's two cell lines for
The original. I like how in different chapters they talk about different real stories that really happen and how
Orphan Black has real
Facts in their show and they want it to be real as possible as they can make it. But a lot of scientists say
do not clone humans and let's just
Let's just do that, but there is only one question. I asked myself while reading this in watching Orphan Black.
[ Data Sounds ]
One is
before
Dolly The Sheep was cloned. How do we not know that other people
clone, try to clone and achieve a human or
The countries is that is not legalized or illegal if any mad scientist goes out there and
tries to do some experiment with
Less
unfortunate people and
and try to do all that stuff to them I
Know out there
There's a my mad scientist out there just  in the basement and trying to do some craziness.
But we do not know.
I will say this is a five star for me because I'm a die-hard fan of Orphan Black. I will say
the week, I read this was a
Science crash course for me because I did not pass biology
I had to take it twice in high school.
I was really bad at science, but I was really really trying so hard to understand it and this
Orphan Black and reading, like these,
make
Make it easier for me to
Understand science and maybe some of the stuff in the books went over my head, but I can also
Still reread them because they're my books or hopefully your library has these books and you can check them out.
So that's all I wanted to say about
the science of orphan black the original the original
