The book might be good.. might be bad.. How do I know? I am not a math major. And this is the biggest problem with the book. In trying to increase its reach, this book is being sold as -Freakonomics - Economics for layman. The fact is that it is not. Even though the anecdotes are engaging but it loses me every time it goes on explaining those convoluted axioms.

Not to say that the things discussed here are impregnable. I mean one can slow down to understand things but then I was not prepared for that kind of reading. The tile and its description are misleading.

So only two stars.
