There are a few good stories and some useful anecdotes. But in general, this book really didn't hold my interest...
I've been listening to the podcast for a while. Really enjoyed the book...especially the specific examples of how to think freakishly in particular situations.
A must-must read. I'm a super fan of the Freakonomics series. I specially love the insights that these two amazing economists provide about everything that happens around the world.
Fans of Dan Ariely and Malcolm Gladwell would love this book, and everything under the Freakonomics banner. Do check out the Freakonomics podcast too, for amazing and regular content!

Not as novel as the previous books, had a few interesting bits here and there, fecal transplants to solve intestinal infections being one.
This isn't a third Freakonomics book. It is an advice book. I think it suffers from that, but I still found it enjoyable none the less. I posted a full review here: http://bit.ly/1CSdqVu.
Short and fast read. Much of the same fare as the last two books and the freakonomics podcast.
Useful tips, in a general sense, about thinking outside the box. A lot of this info is covered on the Freakonomics podcast (which I recommend).
I read this book quite a while ago and I remember finding it absolutely terrible at the time. I can't recall what it was that made it that terrible, but I recently learnt that it was written by people who are now big proponents in pushing the agenda for geoengineering and I could put one and one together. I mean you can imagine what other BS they can spew out.
This is the third book in the Freakonomics series and deserves to be the last. This franchise is out of gas. While the book is around 200 pages, even that seems to long for a collection of bromides and anecdotes that don't say much that is new or startling.
