SUMMARY- I think you need to be a science nerd to really fall in love with this book, and you need to be an experienced folder. If you're just looking for pretty geometric models to make, I'd give this one a pass. If turning molecules into 3D paper representations rocks your world, then this book is perfect for you! There is a great deal in this book to unpack. I decided NOT to expand the Table of Contents given to include all the molecules he gives. I'd die of old age before I got done.
