marianka1992's review against another edition
5.0
5 stars without a doubt. Thoroughly researched and painstakingly detailed, a page turner of horrors about the Sackler family and the marketing of oxy contin,
It is a great read but also a cautionary tale and an eye opener about corporate America.

I listened to this audio book on my commute. I started and ended each day angry.

Lots of information. Bit long, but it covers three generations, and apparently they were all greedy self-serving people. Had no idea about this family until reading this.

Wow. Really feels like fiction or Succession but unfortunately is not. Very long and detailed but hard to put down. Amid the horrifying greed there were moments of inspiration (Nan Goldin) and humor (some of the corporate moments and ridiculous quirks)

Late to the party on this one, but daaaaaamn. It’s no surprise that corporations care more about $$ than people, but it was shocking just how much the Sacklers and Purdue Pharma pushed oxycontin when they knew the devastating effects it was having all over the country. Infuriating how money trumps all in our society.
I’m generally not a huge non-fiction reader, but this one had me all in from the start. Well worth reading!
