Every Patrick Radden Keefe book I've read is stunning. This one will make you deeply angry, detailing the history of generations of the Sackler family: rewriting the rules on pharmaceutical advertising and deliberately pushing OxyContin on vulnerable populations. It's well worth your time.

Keefe is a brilliant journalist who gets at the heart of complex issues. He tells the infuriating story of Sackler family greed in a compelling manner.

Infuriating portrait of a monstrous family. I am not a big non-fiction person but found this very compelling. And sickening.

Het boek schetst een wereld waarin alles draait om alleen maar zoveel mogelijk geld verdienen. En dat leidt tot bizarre taferelen.
Wel had ik bepaalde personen meer uitgediept willen zien. Daarom een sterretje minder.
