Read for school 🤮

[Min · Rating 2 out of 5]

Good grief. As a public health major, I have to read all manner of books I'd rather not. But this? This was terrible. Just statistic after statistic, paragraph after paragraph. I'd rather poke my eyes out with a spoon than have to reread this book cover to cover. If they had spent even a little time trying to frame the info in an interesting way, this book would have a much better rating.

That being said, I have to admit there is a lot of good info buried deep within snore fest quality paragraphs. I will likely keep this one, despite its rating because highly specific aging stats can be hard to come by.
