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

Did not finish book.
Not bad, but I had hoped for a writing style with a bit more popular appeal. The information is somewhat accessible yet still dry, not unlike a required science class with an enthusiastic teacher. I may go back to finish the last third, but it would be a hard sell for my audience.
