What Members Thought
Some elements had more interesting stories associated with them than others, some were fun and some made me want to pull out my hair but so many were poignant. On the whole the book was a worthy read. I've not bothered to study chemistry ever since I finished the first two semesters of my engineering, but it's always been a favorite subject. Not that I remember much of it, and certainly nothing was taught in terms of the history of the science. So it was great to catch up on all of this.

Okay, I got completely lost when the author started talking about the science stuff (protons, neutrons, atoms, etc.), but I enjoyed the stories.
