Francis is clever, successful and really rather nice, but he has a problem.
He has no idea how women think. He doesn't know when they love him or why they sometimes hate him. So he turns to science for the answer and develops his own theory of how men and women react with each other.
His theory guides him through tortured adolescence and into perplexing manhood but fails to predict the outcome of his intense, passionate but mostly hapless relationships.
His quest to find the ultimate "oxygen" woman combines small triumphs with an unending litany of catastrophes until he is finally faced with the awful truth.
It’s a story about how men try to make sense of women, and mostly fail.
Francis's story brings together the belief systems of all the people in his life and compels him to choose between them. It forces him to confront the question of whether his own theory is based on scientific rigor or is no better than the superstitions that he so despises.
It offers an alternative view of the concept of manhood in the 21st century and examines the conflicting patterns of life’s seeming predictability and spontaneity in a funny, thoughtful and at times, cringingly embarrassing story.

Oh…and it’s a comedy.

"Does for science what Nick Hornby's High-Fidelity did for music."

Recensione

Picked this up on a whim (it was free at the time). The reviewer who mentions Nick Hornby is right, there's definitely a feeling of his work here. It also reminded me of 'The Pleasure of my Company' by Steve Martin - the lead character has that feel of obsessive compulsion. There's plenty to enjoy in 'Chemistry', particularly anything with a camper van involved. An excellent book and, having only jumped to £0.77, a bit of a bargain. --Amazon

There is so much to admire in this heartfelt, laugh out loud, beautifully written novel. Within minutes I was hooked. Some thoughtful and wonderfully funny observations of human nature. Entertaining and engaging. I loved it! --Amazon

I picked up this book with slight trepidation. It came recommended from a friend so off i went. Goodness, how i was surprised. I am a big fan of Mike Gayle and this debut novel from Rob Hodgson is right up there with Gayles best. A perfect blend of wit, intelligence, romance and some develish twists and turns. A thoroughly engaging read. --Amazon

L'autore

I narrowly missed international fame as a rock god when my mum told me the singer in my group was rubbish and I should ditch him. (Bruce Dickenson went on to achieve a modicum success as the singer in Iron Maiden.) At a time when rock music was being subverted by punk, I worked in a number of recording studios then bizarrely decided to undertake a degree in applied physics (which proved to be just slightly less than impossible.) On graduating I cheated/fluked my way into the BBC as a Studio Manager in London - one of the best jobs in the world in 1979. There I was immersed in a truly amazing culture and worked on some ground breaking programmes such as The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Then followed twenty years running my own marketing business with two lifelong friends where I found that I really wasn't a scientist but a writer and ideas person.

4,0 su 5 stelle A good book to pass the time!

It's a light comedy with a lot of chemistry references (but you don't need to be a scientist to read it) and the psychological part of the male(a geek one)-woman relationships with a lot of plot twist in the middle.

A rare treasure. The correlation of life to science or chance is well explored. Logic and reason, with much obsession, greatly illustrates the human condition. By the middle of the story the reader begins to wonder if Spocky will ever overcome uncertainty and just live.

4,0 su 5 stelle lovely (even with the spelling mistakes)
Recensito nel Regno Unito il 19 febbraio 2013

I thoroughly enjoyed this and would be happy to proof read it and correct the spellings and other errors so that anyone following the recommendations can enjoy it without having to go back and do a sense check - UPDATE: Previously my review suggest a change over of characters - I WAS WRONG - Apologies Rob - I've reread your book which apart from Hitchhikers Guide and Lord of the Rings I have never done before - I get through 3-4 books a month. There are errors: I'm sure "Consolidated Diaries... a sprawling food processing business..." was meant to be Consolidated Dairies and it's Four Poofs and a Piano" not Puffs, there are errors but I enjoyed the book on each reading.

I have read 5 books since this one... the Hunger Games series which was good, and a couple... which sitting here I forget the names of... I keep coming back to this one... a bit of an enigma

I thought this was actually a pretty solid postmodern piece,I couldn't help but feel empathy for the main character, you could see him carreening toward stupid choices, and you knew he'd walk right into every pitfall, but so do we all, and that is what made this book enjoyable.
