The topic is fascinating. The time in history is interesting. Joseph Priestley is remarkable. This book, unfortunately, is none of these. Well, to be fair, it was "interesting" enough to teach me about Priestley and the unique roles he played in the scientific experimentation of his time. But I felt like the story, facts and added information were all over the place. There were plenty of interesting tid-bits to be told, but they were wrapped up in dry lead-ins and swirled around with boring stories of how they interlaced with other prominent men of the time. The result? A overall final feeling that this book was too much work with very little payoff.
