Bad Science by Ben Goldacre

5.0

I don't go for nonfiction often - I find it's usually a bit tough to jump into at first and I read a lot before bedtime, when I prefer to get lost in the imaginary world of a good story. While Bad Science provided me with the usual slow start, I am immensely glad I stuck with it. For a book that claims it's tagline, if it had one, would be "I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that", it sure is a straightforward, clear, highly informative and fascinating read. I thoroughly enjoyed the chapter discussing the placebo effect and think it can help anyone who wants to learn about the scientific method (and not just in evidence based medicine).
