This is a history of chemistry
It's great if you wanted a history of chemistry. Laid out in chronological order of discoveries. But after telling you who discovered something there is very little info about the discovery. You end up goggling "what is a dative bond"or " what is a base" if you want to remember the basics of chemistry look elsewhere.

Hard to use as a reference
This book is full of interesting and hiostory, so 5* for that. Using it as a reference book is hard becuase it's mor elike a story than pure reference. Looking in the index there are so many references to certain things such as the period table. Its hard to know where to look for things. A good book, but use with another for homework reference.

Propaganda ..
As mentioned not great for reference , it reads like a story more. Nothing in it about ionic or covalent bonding either - bizarre. And lots of propoganda about lockdowns and covid vaccines ... so no thanks.. returning
