Could not put it down. I watched and listened to several interviews about this book before I bought it. I could not put t down! It took me 4 days to read. The amount of detail and information is incredible. I would get to the end of a chapter, and tell my self …one more chapter. So captivating. If there are as many pages of information as the author says, he may need to write another book, or turn it into a document-series.

Gut wrenching. This book is an incredibly detailed look at three generations of a family driven by greed and utterly void of any amount of remorse for their purposeful destruction of humanity in order to line their pockets. The work is very well written!

A Magnum Opus. Essential reading. Highly engaging, well-researched, deeply absorbing. Unforgettable.

Excellent & Thorough Reportage of. The Perdue Pharma Devastattion. Keefe does a remarkable job in tracing the rise and inevitable collapse of the pharmaceutical giant Perdue Pharma and the rapacious Sackler dynasty who were completely oblivious to the damage they wrought garnering obscene profits along the wayI a must read!

EXTREMELY ENLIGHTNING. I learned so much about the opioid crisis that it is understandable why it is so difficult to obtain pain medication. I took it during a period before surgery for spinal stenosis and then I weaned myself off of it. I think it is good to illustrate the problems it has caused,but now doctors are terrified to prescribe it. While I enjoyed the book, it was very long and intense. My only complaint is that it should be condensed.

A devastating feat of journalism. Jaw dropping stuff — read it

A book to understand America. Wow. This is an important book for anyone who wants to understand the opioid epidemic. Anybody who knows somebody affected by drug abuse should read this book.

They don’t care about our health. Really eye opening. These companies don’t care about our health. They only see dollar signs. Do yourself a favor and read this.

Empire of Pain. Well written and exhaustively researched. However, it could have been condensed by 50% and would have been even better.

Compelling and dark. Vivid biography of the family and crisis told through thoughtful and thorough research. Reads like a thriller that unfortunately is true.

Eye opening. From someone that lost someone close from this epidemic. Thank you for writing this book.

Painfully. Insightful

Holy cow. I started it at 6:30 when I had my coffee and finished it at 10:30 the same night. I literally could not stop. From the first page it started out with a bang and then got even better. The twists just kept coming. Probably gonna read it again today.

Fascinating. Crazy inside story of the opioid epidemic. The Sacklers truly were greedy and evil.

Mist read. excellent book Must read.

interesting story. interesting to get some of the background of what went on behind the curtains of Purdue. I am just so glad that my physician never put me on OxyContin to fight my chronic neck pain. I could have been one of the statistics. Such a shame of those that were given prescription to such an addictive drug.

Great Book. Could not put it down.

Mind blowing.. Please do yourself a favor & read this.

A Quintessential Piece of the Opioid Epidemic. The research required for a book of this scope - to tell the multigenerational story of the SACKLER family - is staggering. Absolutely amazing work from Keefe. The book couldn’t be more relevant if it tried. This is the quintessential piece in understanding how the opioid epidemic came to be. Please read this book. Our moving forward as a people is dependent upon holding families, like the SACKLER family, responsible for their actions in ruining the lives of so many people.
