Editorial reviews:

"The author balances very well between personal accounts on his family life, the social environment in which he grew up after the WWII and cooking and nutrition in those days on one hand, and serious (chemical) explanation and questioning of different theories of the origin of life on the other... The book is both serious and humorous."
Mladen Juracic, geologist

"Knowing his (Raos) erudition and writing experience I expected a fine piece of work, but the book is above my expectations. It is exceptionally interesting and readable."
Darko Hrupec, astrophysicist and science writer

"A very amusing book for people with developed taste and subtle scientific sensibility.
"Petar T. Mitrikeski, biologist
