Title: Fun., thought-provoking read
Product review: The book raise some really interesting and intriguing theories (e.g., abortion rate vs crime rate) and makes you think about things differently. Although written by an economist, it's not dry at all, and the frequent stories/examples add to its accessibility.While avoiding detailed description of the methodology used keeps it reader-friendly, I think that's one potential drawback of the book - with minimal back-up as to why certain correlations are statistically valid, trained economists/statisticians may not support his findings.Of course, this book seems more tailored to the general public anyway, so that may not be a concern. In any case, it was a very interesting read!
