One of the best popular science books I have read, I'll be looking out for other books from this author. I couldn't put it down and read it in two days.

I was very intrigued by the description of this book. All the fluids a science writer encounters on his transatlantic flight. The narrator was fantastic and the writing was easy to understand, amusing & fun.

Yet another random book I picked up from the Edgewater library’s recommended books section, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The author takes the reader through the history and chemistry behind... liquids, of all things. I know it sounds as boring as can be, but the author narrates it in such an entertaining, approachable manner that it kept my attention throughout. Not only that, but I have a renewed appreciation for all things liquid - from all the ballpoint pens we toss around without a second thought to the paint on my walls to ketchup... yes, ketchup! Highly recommend, and can’t wait to check out more of this author’s books.

Probably more 3.5. His style of framing such diverse materials around a single event is interesting, but sometimes was hard to follow his train of thought through the chapters.
