Something of a let down overall. Whilst Tim Spector and the various experts and contributors at his company, ZOE, have made a profound impact on many people, me included, this book does not quite provide the anticipated scientific background. As you may know, scientific background is my meat and veg when it comes down to the real shebang.
There is a plenty of information, but the conversational style feels more like the text of a podcast and contains some horribly unscientific generalisations. Feels like "I've started so I'll finish" structure. For me it could have been more information dense and concise. Useful Appendices though.
