SOAP BOX ALERT !! While reading this book I'd get so angry I couldn't sleep and I'd have to put it down for a while. It was so hard to hear about how desperate people are to make sense of things and in the process they grasp at anything to explain their struggles. I would get so angry at the profit that some individuals make from half-baked science and take advantage of the desperate. I'm so glad I read this book and I wish I could get everyone to read it and make choice based on understanding rather than fear.
