The Confidence Game: Why We Fall for It . . . Every Time by Maria Konnikova

3.0

A solid if unspectacular read about conmen and why long cons work. Like a lot of pop nonfiction, it's high on small stories and short on details, and thus I felt like this was lacking what I was looking for in the topic even though I had a good feeling going in that it would be exactly this.

Much like any other book like it, if you know you have an interest in the subject but little knowledge, this is good. If you want more in depth, there might be other books out there to pick up.
