Very well written

Revisado: 06-24-24

I loved how the author narrated his own book. It makes reading/ listening so much more deep. He really can write well. I want more.

I really enjoyed how well the story is told

Revisado: 11-23-23

I really love how well the story describes what happened in a succinct manner that makes sense to an outsider. I enjoy how they did not blame everyone and yet had really clear information. As a medical professional I appreciate how they got a good number of details correct. Beautiful book. highly recommend.

Very interesting content, horrible narration. Sounds like it was done by a robot.

Learning about the history of milk, the history of cattle, raising, spiritual history of different places, using milk, is particularly interesting to me. There’s a tiny bit at the end about common modern milk, ideas and recent milk scandals. But I think the information overall is wonderful. I really enjoyed listening. The narrator definitely feels like I’m listening to a bot. Check out the preview to see if you can tolerate the narrator.

Overall, I liked it very much !
I’ve read or rather listen to several of his books, including ones on salt and codfish, etc. they are of course detailed, and dive into the history of things rather extensively, but that’s why I buy them.

Overly dramatic like a a bad fake TV documentary

Revisado: 02-02-23

This seems a fairly short simple story, which they draw out about 10 times longer than they need to do with dramatic music, dramatic questions, dramatic sound effects, and difficult to understand narrated portions of audio that were recorded for interviews. It seems like they took a bad cable TV documentary style, true crime, story, and tried to turn that into an audiobook. It failed miserably. Even if you like that sort of thing this is pretty terrible. The narrator was good, but the rest of it’s pretty miserable. They are drama where it’s clearly not needed, and basically tried to extend what is a very short story to fill an entire audiobook, don’t recommend.

love it

Revisado: 08-08-19

I loved it. Great narator, funny as heck, excellent read. good lessons from history. I will definitely enjoy re-reading this and know about 10 people who need to get it for Christmas. While the subject matter is a bit dour at times the writing makes it very palatable and funny particularly for people in the medical profession.

Less of a book more a position paper

Revisado: 08-02-19

I felt this book came from a strong position about nuclear science, governments, the bomb, the cold war, the whole thing. While it provided some wonderful information I did not know before- it also had a very clear bias. I felt at points like I was reading a thesis paper when the author said "as I will demonstrate in the next chapter" and sometime the science was pretty far off... she does not seem to understand xenon byproducts and a few other bits of technical detail. I was impressed by the research about the Mayak disaster and closed city and the identification of the Stockholm syndrome like behavior of those who worked in the town the surrounding towns to plutonium production cities, but the book would have been much much improved by a better narrator who can correctly pronounce element names and the lack of the feeling I'm reading someone's position paper.

excellent explanation of science and history

Revisado: 04-27-19

Well performed. Well reasearched. Good story. Good lessons for the future. Good read. Im glad I got this book. It explains tons about the history of scientific medicine in the US and the transformation from bleeding people and the history of homopathy and chyropratic medicine to the scientific methoids which save lives today. Immunology and public heath consepts are explained well for the lay person and statistical ideas are beautifully translated into easily digested and understood bits. the stories of reasearchers are beautiful. don't miss this book.

largely a conspiracy theory read by a robot.

Revisado: 04-24-19

While some of the information and facts were interesting I struggled with a narrator that could have been a robot. The unnatural English pronunciations and kadence most often used by telemarketers was very distracting. I wish the book contained more solid facts and a bit of a narrative to pull readers in. the conclusions drawn were very poorly supported and streched the data presented. In The End, I feel this book is an amatureish conspiracy theory and needs substantal editing and revision to become worth your time.

short book but very cool. I wish it included more

Revisado: 08-15-18

I absolutely loved the sound effects and the Beast descriptions. I just wish there was so much more. You don't want it to end.
