From AudioFile

Devra Davis may be a maverick scientist, but she's not given to alarmism. In DISCONNECT, she argues that radiation from excessive cell phone use may be related to brain tumors and male infertility. Even skeptical listeners should find this audiobook fair-minded, as Davis lays out the evidence and avoids overstating her case. It's a shame that Emily Durante's narration clashes so badly with Davis's writing. Durante is usually a strong narrator of fiction, but her tone and delivery are at odds with this material. Unfortunately, the real disconnect here is between author and narrator. D.B. © AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
