RaveLibrary JournalBased on extensive investigative reporting ... During his reporting, Eyre stumbles upon pill parties in parking lots and exposes inadequate DEA oversight, blatant conflicts of interest, and testimony from drug company executives expressing some remorse but no admissions of guilt for the actions ... Timely and well documented, with appeal to a broad range of readers.
Chavi Eve Karkowsky
PositiveLibrary JournalKarkowsky candidly acknowledges the ongoing problem of implicit bias and its harmful impact on black patients. This well-written narrative is moving and medically dense. Clearly not a simple pregnancy manual for the average patient, the book provides vivid insights into the more intense aspects of reproductive medicine ... Karkowsky raises important issues concerning patient autonomy and the treatment of women in the health care system. For those who enjoyed Perri Klass’s The Real Life of a Pediatrician and anyone interested in the challenges of modern health care.
Chris Sagers
RaveLibrary JournalThough the arguments are strong and highly instructive, the author seems to downplay the damage that a large monopoly monopsony such as Amazon could eventually inflict on publishing and the scope of writing itself ... More of an armchair than a beach read, this authoritative work contains a wealth of information in a readable format. Highly recommended for serious readers interested in hot topics on the economics of publishing.
Rachel Monroe
PositiveLibrary JournalThis provocative work is best suited to readers with a strong interest in true crime and its historical roots. Though lacking the rigor and documentation of an academic work, it manages to create an original and bold contribution to the genre.
