Book Reviews of the Freakonomics [Revised and Expanded]: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything
Customer Review: A fun, interesting, and provocative book.
Summary: 5 Stars
While I'mnot generally inclined to read economics books, Freakonomics is very, very accessible. The book is written in clear, readily understandable language (including the best description I've ever seen of regression analysis, causality, and correlation). The topics discussed are quite interesting - why crime REALLY went down in the 90's, the impact parents can REALLY have on their kids, and several others. Whether one ultimately agrees with the authors' conclusions or not, the book certainly encourages you to think about everyday things more critically and not just accept the conventional wisdom.

My only disappointment is that the book wasn't longer!
