Love It! Fun reading, took me two years!

I give it a four star--not the most page turner of a book but great chapters. I read about one every month or so, not a problem for I like to read what I'm in the mood for! Never knew that rocks were so fluid, changeable and sort of the "chemistry" of what is involved.
