embingham 's review for:

The Disappearing Spoon: And Other True Tales of Madness, Love, and the History of the World from the Periodic Table of the Elements by Sam Kean

4.0

This book definately had some very interesting things in it. My only 2 complaints were that there were several scientific concepts that Kean explained in this book that I don't think I would have understood if I didn't have a science background, and it was a little dry in some places. It had a lot more about people and a lot less about elements than I had expected. Overall, it was a very interesting read, and I feel like I do understand some concepts much better than I did when I started.
