I didn't know what to expect from this book when I first bought it, considering the title is handling a very broad topic. As I expected, this book is not aimed towards the amateur. The book lacks basic information for people who knows very little about chemistry. In addition, the book lacks any objectives, reading the book feels like having a live discussion with Mr. Hartman, which means you will forget most of what you have just read. Another problem the amateur will face is the highly technical discussion of various combustion aspects. On the other hand, the book is nice to read for the professional, as it touches on a lot of interesting aspects of fuels, but then again we are back to the previous point that this book lacks any objectives. In conclusion I think you will have to out line the author thesis and topic sentences in order to learn something after finishing reading this pretty good book. Keep in mind that this is the only book I found about this topic and I respect Mr. Hartman effort in to trying to come out with a different book. That's why I gave him 3 (I wish I could put 3.5). God knows, but maybe if there were other books about this topic this book would have not got 3 stars! Abdulrahman
