My son got this at the library 4 years ago and remembered it recently. He wanted to buy one of his own so we did, and it was as awesome as we remembered. So detailed, clear, and fascinating.

After reading two plus books on elements, i read this on molecules. I was kinda looking to better understand molecular structure but this is more about the characteristics of common molecules and types. I started getting unto learning important things about chemicals that are part of our lives.

So much valuable info on all the different minerals and what they are used for.

I absolutely love this book. I thought Elements and Reactions would be the ones to get but after enjoying those so much I bought Molecules without expecting much. I was wrong! This book is extremely informative, engaging and often very funny; and I haven’t been able to put it down. A must buy for anyone that loves chemistry.

I LOVE this book. It's was difficult to put down once I started reading it. What I loved the most was that the book leaned toward organic chemistry, which is my favorite chemistry topic. The illustrations were very clear; I especially liked how the author rendered molecules with a faint glow — not only does it underscore the reality about what electrons truly are, it also aesthetically looks very pleasing against the black background of the book's pages. The photography was crisp and the subjects were varied and well thought out. Despite having just completed 1200 pages of general chemistry, I still learned an important thing or two that I didn't know before. The topic of this book, molecules, is such a broad umbrella that 1000 people could write such a book and you'd have 1000 very different approaches, some good and others not so good. With such an expansive set of things the author could have touched on, I think he did a good job in selecting what to mention and what to leave out, while still being both educational and entertaining. In short, I'd say you can't be disappointed in this book (unless you just really hate chemistry and/or the physical...

+So in my review of The Elements, I stupidly suggested that the book was a great example of why e-books weren't going to replace physical books any time soon. Well we know how that turned out (the fully interactive Elements app on iOS is breathtaking and undoubtedly many times more popular than the book). I'm sure Touch Press is about to release Molecules as an iOS e-book app too [Update: they did], but I'm still really glad I got the physical book.
"The Elements" and "Molecules" look very similar, but there are some subtle differences due to the difference in their subjects. The Elements was primarily a beautiful picture book and catalog of all the elements. But that made it somewhat more abstract since most of us rarely interact directly with more than a handful of elements, and their atomic nature is less a part of every day experience. The text was mostly interesting trivia for each element.
Molecules on the other hand moves up a layer from atoms to molecular compounds, and as such it comes a step closer to our daily experience. The Elements was a book you mostly looked at, but Molecules is a book you'll want to READ since it's jam packed full...
