Really disliked the voice book and how the author tried to bash you over the head with conspiracy theories. ( )

A lot of great ideas, probably before their time. However, absolutely terrible writing style. Paragraphs are a good thing. ( )

This book is kind of all over the place. Some neurochemistry, some evolutionary biology, some Gaia theory. I think there's definitely some insight here, and recent research backs up a lot of the claims made, but it definitely has to be taken with a grain of salt.

(That being said, I want a pair of rose-colored glasses to wear after sundown, just because that sounds awesome.) ( )

It seems this book did not get the respect it deserved. It's one of the few books on fat loss and health-improvement that truly contains new information. My sense was that the book's findings -- with its hard-to-hear research and uneasy answers -- are why it wasn't a bigger bestseller. Still, I found it very helpful. ( )

This book makes for some fantastical leaps from studying the cyclical obese Syrian desert rat a.o. to human physiology. Entertaining --yes, useful-- no. This belongs to one of many books that is partially useful and partially misleading. It's just very difficult to tell which is which.

The book basically says that humans are programmed to hibernate, and all the modern times metabolical diseases derive from artificial lights enabling us to keeping the same hours inthe short days of winter as we do in the long days of summer.
OK, so... I live right upon the Tropic of Capricorn. The difference between the hours of light in the summer solstice and in the winter solstice is negligible. This means none of it applies to me?
The book has some very interesting (and scary) things to say about serotonin, dopamin and antidepressants, but while testing its claims on diabetes, obesity and hours of sleep would be merely inconvenient, testing the ones on antidepressants would be positively dangerous. I'd really love to find other books on the same themes, just to make sure T. S. Wiley didn't just invented all that...
