Major thoughts and points of the book

Described by author as a toilet book. Is he a little embarrassed by this book release while he writes his next "proper book"? Bad Science and Bad Pharma are both great.
First cd and a bit read by author who then hands over to…hmmm
A collection of articles written for The Guardian as well as an essay that won the Roger Hole Essay Prize in Medical Scepticism in 1998 about Heroin that is a real highlight of the book
As a rule I don't like books that are collections from other sources and although not terrible, it is the first book this year that I just want to be over and done with
