This book is great and you will love it. If you haven’t heard of IUPAC please stop reading here so you can finish reading this on a high.
My gripe is one that 99% of the readers would probably overlook, though a few of you may understand. I just don’t get why the authors didn’t use the standard IUPAC/CPK colouring of atoms: hydrogen, carbon, oxygen and nitrogen! This surely wouldn’t have escaped your attention and just can’t understand why you wouldn’t have followed them, unless you thought they weren’t ‘fun enough’?! How did you screw this up so bad?!
How cool would it have been to follow up this book with a molecular model kit that actually matched the colours. It would have meant basic memorisation about colouring and number of bonds would have been factually relevant too! Why Chris..... why?!? For the love of the Chemistry children!!! This oversight has me on the hinge of literally Breaking Bad...

Great book, but the purist part of me dies every time I read it...
