Disappointed - Not easy to follow

What would have made So Long Constipation, Part 1 better?

The references should have been quoted at the end of the book, instead the narrator would quote the references after practically every sentence, it makes it very difficult to get into the book and completely disrupts the flow. I found this quite annoying.

What could Katarina Nolte have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

She should have left references for the end of each chapter or the end of the book.

How could the performance have been better?

More flow and rhythm in the narration would have helped me to appreciate the book more. The chapters were not well structured.

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

Yes, she sheds light on a few new concepts that i found interesting- if only it was presented in a more structured way, without the disruptive references.

Wikipedia Revisited

Thank goodness books are returnable! I was two chapters into it and still waiting to hear something the author had written herself. It was one quoted source after another and became incredibly annoying. I found myself listening only to see if Wikipedia or some medical blog was going to be referenced at the end of each sentence. Do yourself a favor and pass this one by.
