I would have to respectfully disagree...although I can see where this book would not be for everyone. It was on the New York Times Bestseller list, which certainly implies that it was popular.

My thought is that the authors were trying to make a potentially boring and/or difficult subject light hearted. So, they used humor and cartoon drawings to make things easy and fun.

I enjoyed the book and plan on reading it again at some point.

It might be the type of book best to check out at the library...especially if you are already in the medical field, in a related profession or very well read on the subject. It is not overly technical. However, it does provide very good information and in an easy to read, light format.

Additionally, I find this book, and others by these authors helpful in that they encourage readers to take very good care of their health...something many people tend to put off because they become distracted.
