Book Review #3


The next book I read was Freakonomics by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner. I loved this book. As I've mentioned in a previous post, I'm a sucker for statistics and this book used statistics to analyze an assortment of world issues that. It didn't get bogged down in the numbers but used them to point out mistakes with "common knowledge".

Freakonomics is only 207 pages and reads extremely quickly. It is an intriguing book and will likely make you look at the world a little differently.
