The Book

The Book "freakonomics" was a great book, although certain times in the book I felt like the author was being bios. The book overall is a good read, I was happy to get in the mind of other people, the author really did a fine job of getting different statistics together to prover his logic. If someone is interested in the way economics think I think they should read freakonomics. The chapters in the book sometimes ramble on on, the author went on a few rants. The chapter that was most interesting to me in freakonomics is most likely the last chapter, when Levitt discussed the history of baby name. He compared low income, middle class, white & black baby names. It was quite funny to me because I knew many people with a lot of the names that were in each category. I was amazed bow someone actually set down & analyzed baby names. Overall the book was a semi good read. I would suggest people to read it only if they don't mind book with a lot of different topics and the worlds look at the world.
