I fucking hate rocks, and they should all go back to hell where they came from. In all fairness this review is geared more towards my geology professor, and not the book itself, which never did anything to hurt anyone. Sorry book.

Well written book even for a dabbler in the subject.

Proof will be in the pudding of my final grade, but the book seemed to explain the concepts well, which, is all you can ask for!

It was amazing. I've started looking for the sequel. ;)
