Great book! Very much important in our misinformed world. Final rating: 4/5.
Really relevant to acquiring critical thinking skills. What I enjoyed the most was the fact that Goldacre actually reasoned why the different hoaxes were so, and thoroughly explained (and backed up with scientific evidence) the process step by step.
4.5*
Even though it's an older book, it's still relevant and funny whilst being informative; some of the things mentioned have changed but the overall message still stands.

So funny and gives you the perspective to debunk popular “science” media claims. Loved it!
You can be 100% correct in the information you’re presenting and still come off as an insufferable asshat. This book is proof. Although Goldacre would probably think that I’m an idiot because after all, we all know that “anecdotes done equal facts!”
A fun skeptical book written with a sense of humor.
