kendralu 's review for:
Superfreakonomics: Global Cooling, Patriotic Prostitutes, and Why Suicide Bombers Should Buy Life Insurance
by Steven D. Levitt, Stephen J. Dubner
I didn't enjoy it as much as I did the first book, although I found much of the information interesting. It did have a similar tone as a Malcolm Gladwell book, but that is not necessarily a bad thing.
I suppose I should mention that I absolutely hated the chapter on prostitution. Perhaps my interpretation is skewed, but it seemed that the authors spent too many pages describing what an awesome gig it is to be an upscale escort. Now I don't care if one rakes in millions a year and only works a few hours a week. The truth is that during those hours that she is working,(however few or convenient), she will spend that time doing things with strangers I'd rather not mention here. (I actually did type something here but Benji said it was so offensive I had to delete it.) Anyway, it hardly sounds like a dream career no matter how much one enjoys sex or what the numbers indicate.
