Powerful Medicines: The Benefits, Risks, and Costs of Prescription Drugs
The first hundred pages were fascinating. Then it just turned into a long-winded repetitive rant without substance. I finally put the book down when his opening paragraph compared his "Harvard students" to NASA astronauts. I was hoping to continue to learn something, but got tired of listening to an author name drop. If you know absolutely nothing about pharmacy and want to learn about it, this book can be for you. It explains many simple things in simple terms. But if you're looking for the "why" and deep analysis, or just new information, this book is not for you. You will be bored out of your mind.
I tried putting it down for a few days and returning to it, but still can't do it. This book is just not for me.
