verysimple 's review for:

Charlatan Charlatan by Pope Brock
4.0

Thoroughly enjoyable, I found the Epilogue to be the most disturbing section, with the surfeit of modern-day analogues to "Dr." brinkley's methods.

The story of quacks wouldn't be nearly as fascinating without the legions of ready and willing customers for their too-good-to-be-true methods. Here was a guy who suckered untold numbers of people into getting goat testicles implanted into them. And only after decades of practice did they turn on him.

But...fascinating read, and I'd highly recommend it.
