5.0 out of 5 stars
I couldn't put it down.
Galen's Lectures is one of those books that grabs your attention in the first line, and doesn't let go until the last. Doctor Galen is a honorable man just trying to get through his day like the rest of us. What appealed to me was his compassion for others and his love of teaching. I was enarmored with him during that first encounter on the wharf, and cheering for him...

If you must read it, borrow the library's copy . . .
I thought this book was ridiculous, absolutely an utter waste. Although it was a good idea, this book fails miserably at its task. First, the lectures are too simple for an honors chemistry class at a technical university. By the time I reached my freshman chemistry class, I'd already had 2 full years of chemistry and a semester of organic chemistry. I don't need a...

I thought this book was ridiculous, absolutely an utter waste. Although it was a good idea, this book fails miserably at its task. First, the lectures are too simple for an honors chemistry class at a technical university. By the time I reached my freshman chemistry class, I'd already had 2 full years of chemistry and a semester of organic chemistry. I don't need a review on units. [...] I won't ruin it for you if you want to read it. [And] the book is full of stereotypes and pure ignorance concerning chemistry and scientists. And lastly, the writing is terrible. [...]

This review is from: Galen's Lectures (Paperback)
Galen's Lectures is one of those books that grabs your attention in the first line, and doesn't let go until the last. Doctor Galen is a honorable man just trying to get through his day like the rest of us. What appealed to me was his compassion for others and his love of teaching. I was enarmored with him during that first encounter on the wharf, and cheering for him every second afterward. And when the story was over, not only did I have a better understanding of chemistry, but I was really glad I got to know Mason Galen. This is one of those rare novels that you can read again and again and again.
