THE ANTIDOTE Inside the World of New Pharma

Werth explores the last 25 years of pharmaceutical advancements and disappointments by focusing on the work of Vertex, a company he wrote about 1989. Narrator Sean Pratt proves a perfect choice for helping listeners navigate prose laden with chemical and other technical language, acronyms, and legalese. His deep voice suggests an easy disposition that welcomes listeners into the complex world that Werth explores. Pratt particularly excels at breaking down the most complicated passages into digestible sentences with well-placed emphasis and deliberation. He never rushes on the important details but manages to pick up the pace on less essential content. L.E. © AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2014]
