Audio Book? Not really
While there is some good information here, a lot of it is rambling and Adam and Mark are constantly talking over each other which gets annoying. Not a patch on "This is going to hurt" and more like a podcast than an audiobook. Not sure its worth the price and I will be trading it for something else.

Podcast rather than audiobook
Once I’d got my bed around the format I started to enjoy it. Didn’t need the weird sound effects either. Not a patch on “This is going to hurt”

Hilarious and really helpful!
Don't normally bother writing reviews....but I so, so enjoyed this.
My partner just had a heart attack and found the bit on that subject equally funny, informative and poignant.
The bit on childbirth was fantastic.
Adam Kay if you read these reviews....... you have genuinely helped my partner understand his heart attack better, and made him laugh about it for the first time.
Mark Watson was brill as well.
Thoroughly recommend.

Funny in places but they talk over each other
The scientific history is very good and some of it amazed me, well explained. They delve in to some weird stuff along the way too as Watson does what he does beat but the constant talking over each other drove me.mad! it was a.pleasuee to hear a guest explanation of a subject or item because then I knew it wouldn't be an unstructured verbal brawl.

Mark Watson is irritating
Mark Watson put simply, is not funny, he's irritating and often completely incoherent. They keep talking over each other. Couldn't stand it, gave up after 20 mins. Would definitely NOT recommend VERY POOR, NOT WORTH THE CREDIT. If you enjoyed this is going to hurt DO NOT buy this.

Two blokes chatting
Not comedy and not clever. Two blokes (who you previously connect to being clever and/ or funny) just chatting in a rambling unstructured way. if you like listening in on other people's conversations - you might like this. we gave up. Wasted credit.

Fascinating and funny!
Loved the back and forth between these two! It was really funny but I also learnt a lot. I listen to the whole thing in one go!

Not worth the effort
I loved Adams first book and had no hesitation buying this one, but the content of this one is spoiled by the constant talking over each other.
The history of medical practitioners and others is fascinating, unfortunately I could not finish the Audible book as the presentation of it drove me mad.
As a reading book it may be fine but not something you would want to listen too.

Another Great Listen
More of Adam’s funny slant on the NHS and biology in general.
A great interlude while we’re waiting for his next book.
Proceeds from this audiobook go to a good cause too!
