jamescridland 's review for:
Bad Science
by Ben Goldacre
The official Kindle edition is riddled with poor typographical errors: words running intoeachother or sometimes having oddly appear-ing hy-phens; and inconsistent formatting. Most irritating.
This starts off as a fascinating read; parts needed rather more concentration than I had available, but it's certainly an eye-opening book. Goldacre comes across as genuinely annoyed at much that he tells us; and while it's fun to watch him debunk the personalities in the alternative medicine business, for example, the main benefit comes from his oft-repeated mantra "it's a little more complicated than that".
You'll never read reports about science in the media in the same way...
