Highly entertaining and enlightening. I learned quite a bit about plastics that I didn’t know before. The style of writing is light and sprinkled with generous amounts of comedy, with a good blend of factual information. I looked up quite a bit more in the scientific literature available to me through on-line resources and science-medical databases at the hospital where I work. There may be some facts presented here that are a little exaggerated, but the warnings in this book appear to me to be important; although as the author points out, without meaningful, long-term, and perhaps forced social changes via coercive government regulations worldwide, which seem unlikely in the foreseeable future, there doesn’t seem to be a lot we can do about it, and along with “the damage is done” part, in that respect the outlook appears bleak. Still, social change can begin at the grassroots with individual people, and we can do our part to reduce wasteful consumption and communicate to our own relatives and friends, and there is good in that. I’m looking forward now to reading more by this author.
