gracefulhope's review against another edition

I've listened to the Freakonomics podcast for quite a while and figured I should get around to reading the book. I listened to it via Overdrive and found it to be pretty good. Except for the last chapter - I do not recommend listening to the last chapter since it's a lot of lists of names.
Overall it's a good introduction to the idea of applying economic principles to a variety of topics, and giving you a way to see the world a little differently.

It was a good read. I had read his other books, and some of the information was recycled, so I even skipped some parts. His podcast is better in my opinion.

Very interesting! A degree of skepticism is necessary in reading this book, but nonetheless some good points are brought up.
