this was an interesting little read! really threw me back to a-level chemistry talking about half-lives and the alkaline metals...those years traumatised me...
it was easy to read but may go over someone's head if they have no gsce/a-level chemistry knowledge

I actually enjoyed this book which was surprising. I think this is due to the short chapters on each element which gave a quick but detailed description of them and included some really interesting facts.

So interesting for a science nerd like me! I loved the little factoids about each element and especially loved learning all the backstories of how each were named (the Latin/Greek roots, jokes, people) each one was so unique! Overall riveting for science lovers, and easy to understand knowing nothing of chemistry so a win for anyone trying to dip their feet into some science non fiction & learn a little along the way!
