Book Review Review

I was somewhat interested in reading a review of Mary Roach's new book-I read Stiff and was grossed-out and intrigued. Honestly, I couldn't get past the illustration. Has no one at the New York Times taken a course in organic chemistry? Really?
This illustration is wrong in so many ways.

You know you are on the path to fluency with organic chemistry when you quickly take inventory of all the valence mistakes, you are already there if that is all you notice.
