This is a horrible review; it is just as biased and sensationalistic as the book itself. Try looking at the facts first.

Thank you so much for being involved in this, the most important and revealing subject. I myself may die from asbestos exposure, and cannot believe the fleecing of humanity regarding this, the most serious, chance, and morbid of realities. Had I had better sense as a youth, I would have definitely finished my college career and become one of the nation’s most vehement and successful attorneys in the fight against the asbestos industry, and for the victims. Now I am 39 years old, and feel my hands are tied behind my back. If only there was something I could do with all my intelligence, articulation, scientific, historical, and pathological knowledge to help stamp this out forever, as much as it can be, and help the remaining legions who will inevitably die horrible, undeserved deaths for the huge profit of a purely evil few. Thank you so much for posting this as it will surely be something I can share with those close to me that due to this fleecing, think I am CRAZY for being obsessed with this, man’s worst black mark.

Even though it caused my blood to boil I loved the book. Has a documentary been produced yet?
