Title: I was prepared to be dazzled...
Product review: A fairly interesting book and a very easy read. But I was hardly dazzled. I am not an academic and did not pick this book up for insights into economic theory, but it read more like something I would use to liven up cocktail party conversation than as an insightful reference. It seems more like a long puff piece on Steven Levitt than anything else. I love iconoclasts and so am always glad to see someone (in this case, Levitt) poke holes in accepted theory, but otherwise this book, while mildly entertaining, did not live up to its buzz.
