   Is Freakonomics A good book?

   • Anyway, there's a bunch of stuff in there (the book), hence the 'freak' in Freakonomics. It's well-written. It's not dry. It's written for a lay audience. I recommend it. Read it and feel the power of social science! ;-) Extremely enlightening! Worthy of 15 stars out of 5! This is a book about the world and not about any science in particular.
