Given some of the reviews I've read, I'm not sure how much of this to believe.

This book avoids going enough in depth to be very informative or to make memorable enough images to stay in my brain. Also, there were moments where I knew important information was being left out, such as natural gas often causing large leaks of greenhouse gases.

This slim volume offers more breadth than depth in telling the story of oil - including the science, history and politics - from its making to our current struggle to find alternatives for it. Thought-provoking and informative.
