Journal[]
Adam and Emma read it before me, and it was recommended at derrenbrown.co.uk.
Emma lent it to me when I went to see her on May 22nd 2011, I started reading it on the train home. Read it at work etc and finished it on the 8th of June.
Very readable, and thoroughly engaging. Wasn't bowled over, but I was quite familiar with Goldacre's style and campaigns by the time I read it, and had recently seen him in a debate with a Science Minister and they disagreed over the value of current science coverage in the media, Goldacre's response was not compelling which gave me my first glimpse of doubt about him.
