Cracked is one of the top ten books of 2013
09 Dec 2013
NetGalley has selected James Davies’ Cracked - Why Psychiatry is Doing More Harm Than Good as one of the ten best books of 2013.
“James Davies’ timely expose of the psychiatry industry makes for fascinating and thought-provoking reading. Using his insider knowledge to illustrate for a general readership how psychiatry has put riches and medical status above patients’ well-being, Davies shows a real flair for the polemic, as well as a real sympathy for the senstivity of the subject.”

The Agnostic's Tale reviewed
28 Nov 2013
“I enjoyed Mr. Rae’s approach. While he ended up retaining his non belief, he retained his respect for the tradition of religion and respected it’s followers and leaders. I would suggest this book to those who’d like to see a variety of answers to the same questions, by both believers and unbelievers, it’s a easy thought provoking read.”
