Meh, decent but perhaps not the most objective one could hope for. I appreciate the many points he makes about the diet industry, but he does get repetitive. And he is a bit aggressive in his comparisons and examples at times. He also doesn't realize that vegans and vegetarians can have at least as much fun as meat-eaters, but that's standard thinking.
On the whole though, generally a worthwhile book for an introduction to the actual research on weight being done in the last 20-30 or so years. Yes, there are dry parts, but mostly his writing is decent. I also appreciate anyone who sticks in a reading list at the end. Because I need more books to read.
