What won't we try in our quest for perfect health, beauty, and the fountain of youth? Well, just imagine a time when doctors prescribed morphine for crying infants. When liquefied gold was touted as immortality in a glass. And when strychnine - yes, that strychnine, the one used in rat poison - was dosed like Viagra. Looking back with fascination, horror, and not a little dash of dark, knowing humor, Quackery recounts the lively, at times unbelievable, history of medical misfires and malpractices.

Shallow treatment of the topic
Revisado: 05-01-25
I was disappointed to find that this was really just a collection of tidbits. There's no greater depth to it. There's almost no consideration of the fact that what we now consider obvious was once considered quackery, and what was standard practice by the best minds of the era is now considered quackery. It's very easy to stand on the shoulders of others and make snarky comments about how "stupid" people used to be, but don't expect anything enlightening from this book. You can get the same depth of consideration out of a clickbait article. A more interesting book would investigate what causes people to buy into gimmicks and snake oil, and the dynamics of how establishments promote or suppress fringe ides.

"Of the place where he had been a boy he had written well enough. As well as he could then." So thought a dying writer in an early version of The Snows of Kilimanjaro. The writer was, of course, Ernest Hemingway. The place was the Michigan of his boyhood, where he remembered himself as Nick Adams. The now-famous "Nick Adams" stories show a memorable character growing from child to adolescent to soldier, veteran, writer, and parent - a sequence closely paralleling the events of Hemingway's life.

Perfect performance
Revisado: 03-25-25
Hemingway's clean, unornamented style often leads narrators to try to oversell it. Stacy Keach has mastered the style, capturing the subtilties without overdoing it.

Bad use of AI summaries.
Revisado: 03-24-25
This is nothing more than a chatgpt anthology of click bait advice articles. There wasn't even an attempt at editing for redundancy or to tie anything together. Audible needs to do better than publishing what is essentially spam.

Poorly structured and presented
Revisado: 03-20-24
This book is borderline incoherent when trying to listen to it. You'll be listening to lists and very generalized statements. The content is obviously paraphrased and regurgitated from other sources.
