This is a must read book for anyone who has been prescribed a generic medication....... which is pretty much everyone. The book is long and may look intimidating, but it reads like an action thriller. There are heroes and villains, conspiracies involving presidents (of companies), and chases (although they probably weren't high speed as they usually involved bench analytical chemists who mostly sit in front of a computer all day).

The amount of research and number of interviews that were necessary to put together this excellent example of investigative reporting is impressive. My only gripe (and it is really more of a pet peeve since I work on them for a living) is that the author refers to HPLCs as "machines." They are not machines, they are instruments, because they make measurements and are used for scientific work
