As a book, it is well-written and gives excellent explanation of just how the Sacklers have made it to the position they hold today and the opiod crisis they had a large hand in creating. The book was at times a little long-winded. However, because portions of it felt like watching reality TV with the family drama, it was easy to fly through. Keefe wrapped the book up well by the end, but I felt a bit lost. Not due to any fault of his, but just the lack of punishment the family suffered, so beware of that going in.
