Reviews are across the board for this book on the internet. Amazon finds most of the 39 reviewers at five stars, all with praise for this "eye-opening" book. Many reviewers in their post were left wanting more in depth information. One reviewer in particular wished that the authors had tested their children for chemical in their bloodstreams since the entire chapter was about chemical exposure in children. Overall, the book was well recieved on Amazon.
On GoodReads.com, review are a bit more sparing, with mostly three and four stars for the book. Many reviewers praised it as an excellent introduction into the world of everyday chemicals that affect out bodies. A few reviewers focused on the quality of the writing as well as the content. It seems that they did not feel it was a captivating book , but an entertaining read.
Personally speaking, this book was fine, but not extraordinarily good in any way. The authors aren't scientists, and they shouldn't pretend to be. What they did was more for shock value than anything. Too bad that approach works on some people. What they presented was interesting, but much of the infromation could have been found with a few minutes of independent research.
