"Without a doubt, this volume will be an invaluable tool for any researcher in the field of boronic acids, while still serving as a useful primer for the novice." (Journal of the American Chemical Society, October 25, 2006)

"Overall, Hall's book provides an excellent starting point from which to explore the chemistry of boronic acids, but also one which gives a perspective on likely future developments. A clear positive feedback loop emerges from the material herein, whereby the take-up of new reactions and applications leads to demands for improved methods for the preparation of boronate substrates which in turn offers wider scope for further new reactivity patterns to be exploited. Hall states at the outset that his task was to provide the first comprehensive book on the chemistry and biology of boronic acids; this he has done, but at the pace of current developments, a second edition might not be so long in arriving."
