I picked this up on a whim a few days ago after finally noticing this thread and I'm really glad I did. I just finished it, and I'm really surprised by how much I managed to at least kind of understand (mostly thanks to the writing, I'm pretty sure) even though I've never even taken a basic chemistry class. It's really interesting to see how some of his future guesses/predictions about fuels have played out in the forty or so years since this was first published. I was also both unsurprised and horrified by how apparently lax a lot of safety parameters were back then. Even just the short anecdote of him and some other scientists casually eating lunch in a chemistry lab WHILE processing chemicals just a few feet away (one container of which exploded, of course).
