[Mary · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book was informative but not necessarily well written.

[Becki Basley · Rating 4 out of 5]

It's just astounding how far a country will go to hide the truth not only from the world but from their own people even at the cause of their children's very health. So sad.

should be up there with silent spring imo

[Aljan · Rating 3 out of 5]

If I could give half stars, I would so that I could say, I kind of liked it, or it was OK. Very informative, not neccessarily written in a very readable style. Reads like a textbook or even more so like notes gathered and waiting to be organized into a report.
