Written in true Freakonomics fashion. Levitt does a good job outlining an effective way to think about the world from an economic perspective.
I was disappointed in the third installment of a series I fell in love with immediately. Almost everything in this book is taken from the first two! Also, I didn't pay for podcasts that I have already heard and could get for free!
meh.
i wish i could've summed it up some other way, but that's exactly how i felt after finishing. i can't tell if there's actually a sliding scale to quality in the three freakonomics books, or if my job has just made me that much more critical in the same time period of story spinning with data.

A follow to their earlier book this books tries to share some of the underlying principles behind their way of thinking. If you liked their earlier book then you will like this one.
This was an enjoyable listen that included some interesting takes on how to approach problems, but I wasn’t wow’d by it. I enjoy their podcast, though!
audiobooked this one on a road trip. not as good as their first two collaborations, but there were some interesting ideas and information presented.
reflective
medium-paced
I liked the first book. The second book made me raise my eyebrows at the specious chapter on climate change. I stopped reading this one when he compared health care spending to buying a car as if they are comparable without any irony. I honestly don't have time for that kind of stupidity.
