"A truly brilliant book about all the ways the current evidence-based medicine is broken. Incredibly well researched, but the flood of facts is seldom overwhelming, thanks to Goldacre's clear writing and skilled use of examples. I also like the honest and insistent voice of this book and that it moves beyond criticism and offers solutions. The only problem with Bad Pharma is that reading it just once does not feel like enough."

    " There really is so much wrong in the world of medicine. At least there's a great book about it. "

    " Excellent. All the shady dealings of the pharma industry laid bare. You'll never take medicine the same way again. "

    " Extremely repetitive. I did enjoy the author's sense of humor in places, but overall, found the book boring. "

    " An important book, highlighting (amongst others) serious issues in the way medical trials are reported (or more frequently, not reported). "

    " Holy Pharma! Goldacre did it again! Definitely an eye opener! Any fans of goldacre's "bad science" will surely be a fan of "bad pharma".... "

    " Great overall view of what has gone wrong in medicine today. We all like to think that things have changed and I hope that they do so that patients lives are put first. "

    " Very interesting, shocking at times learning what the industry is up to. Only criticism is that it is long and perhaps off-puttingly so for some, but well worth it if you plough through. "

    " Brilliant analysis. Should be read by anyone who has ever been a patient, ever specified and/or dispensed drugs, works for a pharmaceutical company or works in the NHS... "

    " I don't think medical research is the only field with some serious problems. A lot of the problems discusse here are also present in other fields (despite e lack of big money from pharma). A must read for any budding scientist with morals.. "

    " Clear and passionate without being preachy, this book is pretty much essential reading for anyone who is ever ill, or might get ill, or cares about someone who is ill, or cares about someone who might get ill. Robots may enjoy the graphs. "

    " Fairly tough reading. Detailed and technical. However, very thorough and very convincing. I will never think the same way about the pharmaceutical industry or its products again. This is not a positive comment. "
