__The Truth About the Drug Companies__ was written by Marcia Angell and published in 2005. I think that the author's goal was to teach readers about the most profitable industry in America. This informational book has many facts and numbers regarding drugs from this industry. Angell describes many parts of the pharmaceutical industry that they keep hidden or might not be telling the whole truth about. Her goal is to expose the stunning truth of what this industry has become- an almost unstoppable marketing machine with innumerable influence on education, medical research, and how doctors work. Angell also wants readers to realize that a change in the actions of these companies needs to take place soon. Revealing the negative, antagonistic aspects of the drug companies was her main goal of writing this novel.======
