bardic_llama's review against another edition

adventurous informative mysterious tense medium-paced

3.5

Only gripe I really had while reading is that multiple acronyms would be introduced early on in the 1st half of the book and I'd forget their meanings when they were then used in the 2nd half. Main one being CLIA-clinical laboratory improvement amendments. 

Also I'm not a big nonfiction reader as I struggle to keep focused especially around the midway point but one's written by journalists like this one & Jon Ronson's The Psychopath Test, I've throughly enjoyed mostly due to their writing style. They feel as if they're written by common folk for common folk in which they always explain enough but give ways for the reader to search up more if needed/wanted.
