About this title: During her two decades at "The New England Journal of Medicine," Dr. Marcia Angell had a front-row seat on the appalling spectacle of the pharmaceutical industry. Written with fierce passion and substantiated with in-depth research, "The Truth About the Drug Companies" is her searing indictment of an industry that has spun out of control.

"Angell rips Big Pharma a new one. Pharma responds by taking NIH research, repackaging it into a me-too drug, marketing it to docs at some caribbean 5-star, and getting the docs to swear how the marketing doesn't effect them, just all the other doctors.
Hopefully required reading for the new crew at the FDA, viva Sharfstein."
"Great book! Several times it made me sick and sadly at the same times I wasn't surprised. I would highly recommend this book to anyone and loan it out to who ever wants to read it. It is pretty dry at a lot of times, with a lot statistics and info about specific companies, but it's not that bad. You'll be glad you read it."
"This is one of the best books I've read in a while. I wouldn't necessarily recommend it to people who don't have significant interaction with medications (like doctors), but I would say that it is a MUST READ for all those who are doctors or in medical school."
