Selden Edwards, apparently, took 35 years to write this dismal piece of drivel. He started writing at age 25, but I suspect that he conceived the idea at the age of 15. How else to explain the wholly un-ironic adoption of the puerile schoolboy nickname for the main character's guru - the Venerable Haze, a.k.a. the Haze - throughout the book? On page 6, Mr Edwards employs the word 'momentarily' to mean 'in a moment' - when in fact it means 'for a moment'. I would say that if it is English teaching that he has recently retired from, then it is just as well that he has retired. Time travel, I can (only just) live with, but the plot is contrived, and the story wholly devoid of humour, takes itself far too seriously, and employs tortured coincidences to allow the hero to make his way through life in 19th Century 'fin de siecle' (he loves that term!) Vienna. I managed 36 pages of this rubbish, and then gave up in disgust. I trust that Mr Edwards, if he ever does write another novel, will again take 35 years t

The Periodic Table is one of man's crowning scientificachievements. But it's also a treasure trove of stories of passion,adventure, betrayal, and obsession. The infectious tales andastounding details in THE DISAPPEARING SPOON follow carbon, neon,silicon, and gold as they play out their parts in human history,finance, mythology, war, the arts, poison, and the lives of the(frequently) mad scientists who discovered them. We learn that Marie Curie used to provoke jealousy incolleagues' wives when she'd invite them into closets to see herglow-in-the-dark experiments. And that Lewis and Clark swallowedmercury capsules across the country and their campsites are stilldetectable by the poison in the ground. Why did Gandhi hate iodine?Why did the Japanese kill Godzilla with missiles made of cadmium?And why did tellurium lead to the most bizarre gold rush inhistory? From the Big Bang to the end of time, it's all in THE DISAPPEARINGSPOON.
