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
the disappearing spoon (11/25/2014)
Honestly this book kind of slides off topic a bit and is very choppy. And it is not as interesting as the book summary makes it seem. If you want a nonfiction book about random things that have to do with elements then this is the book for you. I personally didn't enjoy it, but others may. Also the title only has nothing to do with the book other than one paragraph. Overall I would say the book is poor to pretty average.
