Review of 'Bad Pharma' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

I have to admit that I found this book quite heavy going. Not because of Ben Goldacre's writing style, but the sheer volume of incompetence, opacity and disingenuousness that he uncovers takes a fair bit of time to parse.

The book is very structured, though, with a section at the end of each chapter discussing how to address the issues raised.

It's not a fun or an easy read, but it is an excellent book and one that deserves to be read very widely indeed.
