Theo Gray explores experimental realms the likes of which Mr. Wizard has never seen. Every page is packed with stimulation for the eyes and mind. This book is the perfect gift for anyone who posses an inner child’s sense of wonder and an adult’s desire for enlightenment. I should know, I designed it.
Sincerely, Popular Science’s Art Director

This book bills itself as a collection of “experiments you can do at home,” though it fails to mention that, for most experiments, the requisite materials are not commercially available.
I greatly appreciated Gray’s safety warnings that would only be instituted when warnings are genuinely needed – no safety glasses required for mixing salt and water!
This book ultimately fails to deliver.
Rating: 2 / 5
Good book for chemistry teachers, useful for presenting demonstrations in a spectacular way giving serious scientific explanations.
