The author inserted too much opinion into a book about making chemistry accessible.  At more than a few points, their opinion distracted from the science.  Just too many tangents unrelated to the situation at hand.  Points for the attempt but I probably wouldn't want to read much of their other work if this is what "making science accessible" looks like.

Wasn’t for me. I know too much chemistry already!

Decent and mostly entertaining. It has a very blog-like style, although the English translation was a bit stiff at times. The sapiosexual joke was very stupid.

Leuk om te lezen als je niks/nauwelijks iets van scheikundige onderwerpen afweet of wil zien hoe het allemaal verbonden is in je dagelijkse leven. Ik moet wel zeggen dat als je een enigszins scheikundige basis hebt of iets in die richting studeert, dat het wel veel herhaling is
