4.0

Just like the initial volume, [b:Freakonomics: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything|1202|Freakonomics A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything|Steven D. Levitt|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1327909092s/1202.jpg|5397], I found the sequel even more fascinating. While I enjoyed the subject matter more (particularly the section on the economics of street prostitution) in this book, I thought the first one was better written. This one seemed to jump from one thought to the other with less of a logical transition. It's a pretty minor annoyance on my part; the book made me cringe, laugh out loud, and flex my gray matter all at the same time. For anyone who's a total data nerd like I am, you'll enjoy the hell out of this book.
