The hyperbole, sensationalism, cliffhangers and cherry picking of data drove me up the wall. I read the (inexplicably long) chapter about barefoot running with one eyebrow raised, all the unnecessary tales of Jenn and Billy's drunken antics made me embarrassed on their behalf. And yet, I still enjoyed this. Once I realised I had to take everything with a tablespoonful of salt, and that I would need to do my own fact-checking later, it was a fun story.
