Fly-on-the-wall insight

Revisado: 11-13-18

The headline says it all for me with this text. What an opportunity to read a first-hand account to who said what, quite literally. While I'm not surprised by much in this text, I was still aghast to read how it actually transpired and what people actually said in real time. I am really grateful and appreciative of the lens that this text affords we as citizens as to what the hell is going on in the current administration. Yikes.

Ok, but a bit of a repeating run-on

Revisado: 11-13-18

Emily Nagoski included some really wonderful information in this book, but it was really really repetitive and probably could have been edited for duplication. This probably could be re-written as a text book for a course on human sexuality (one with a female-bodied focus) and it would be a rather fun (read: not boring) course. As a book though, it was a bit boring and just so repetitive. I enjoyed the case studies, though the duplication across different topics was a bit hard to follow in an audiobook. I decided to read this book because I do teach this material to graduate level students, and in doing so, I've considered including this book as incorporated reading for my courses, but I wasn't wowed, so I'm still quite on the fence about moving forward with this. I don't know what I was hoping for, but perhaps the repetitiveness really turns me off.

Loved it!

Revisado: 11-13-18

Michael Pollan is witty, thorough, and fun to read. I enjoy how he weaved both his personal experience with an in depth review of both the science and politics of psychedelics. I don't usually re-read books (there are just too many on my bucket list), but this one is one that I have starred to read again, should time allow! If you are interested in understanding our social, intellectual, and emotional attraction to psychedelics, this is a must read. Loved it!

Decent listen, but not a wow book

Revisado: 11-13-18

I really enjoy a good who dunnit story, and this one is just about average or just above average. I decided to read this book because I love yoga and wanted to read a book that integrated two things I am interested in - yoga and murder mystery. I thought the plot was ok. The writing was a bit cheeky and sophomoric for my taste. The plot line also wasn't very deep and was rather flat throughout. Some of the character development could have been a bit better, but for a novel of this length, it was ok. The performance of the book was better than the story itself.

Frightening and compelling

Revisado: 01-23-18

So much info. Well written. Easily digestible and easy to follow. Wrapped up in a nice bow at the end. Just wow.

Read for the learning not the performance

Revisado: 06-18-17

This is an excellent read as an introduction to the guru - what to look for in a guru, how to assess whether you even want or should have a guru, and I enjoyed the humor sprinkled throughout.

Meh

Revisado: 06-18-17

This story had potential, but I was a bit disappointed with the interweaving of a love story with what was touted as a thrilling read. The plot never really got deep or interesting and the exploration of medicinal espionage was rather shallow. So overall, this was a casual read that wasn't very gripping.

Would you try another book from David Perlmutter and Kristin Loberg and/or Peter Ganim?

Interesting information, but very repetitive in structure and content. Statements are made in absolute when the science is still under construction.

Would you be willing to try another book from David Perlmutter and Kristin Loberg ? Why or why not?

I would consider trying another book by these authors, but I'm not expecting much difference.

Which scene was your favorite?

Review of the cases in the science literature and the case examples.

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

The science presented is interesting and almost compelling.

Any additional comments?

This reader encourages the author to take a more humble approach to science and it's review. The book feels like it's trying too hard to sell your business and practice, not actually to review the science and to be critical of it, which is what I was hoping for.

had potential but lost my interest pretty quickly

What disappointed you about Foreign Body?

The story dragged on and the plot was a bit too predictable for me. I appreciated the characters and the plot drama/crisis; however, I felt that some of Cook's earlier work was more attention grabbing than this one.

Has Foreign Body turned you off from other books in this genre?

No, but it might have turned me off from this author.

What does George Guidall bring to the story that you wouldn???t experience if you just read the book?

Character life!!!!

You didn???t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

The narration was superb.
