Title: Shallow, uninspiring - better books around
Product review: This book is a very-easy-to-read disjointed sequence of some anecdotical commentary based on statistical analysis to prove "interesting" causes for everyday facts. Although the original idea is compelling, the book drivels on unispiring and uninsightful peripheral discussion.The theme of using the power of statistical analysis to find the probable causes of societal events, like the decrease or increase in murder rate, has been much better explored by authors like John Allen Paulos.To make matters worse, the author attempts to use very basic language to appeal to the mass audience. Although this meakes it easy read, it also trivialises the topic - there is a very strong sense of political correctness throughout as well.Overall, this book is a waste of money.
