A little random. A little arbit. A decent amount of fun

As always, the Freakonomics guys put out an engaging book. This is a compilation from their blog, so a bit more disjointed and some treading of old territory, but still interesting.

Reads like a BuzzFeed Top 10 slideshow.

Just a bunch of blog posts similar to each other via the chapter.... but they had a lengthy one about the Steelers so

Another great book by the authors of Freakonomics and Superfreakonomics. This is a collection of blog posts, and so not as in depth as their earlier work. However, it covers a wide range of topics, and is always interesting. Anybody who enjoyed their previous books should check this one out.

3.5 stars! I liked this. It's a collection of Freaconomics blog posts and mussings on all different subjects. There were a few sections that had me all types of lost, namely when they would talk about golf, football, or poker. But, there was a lot of interesting facts and questions that were brought up and mulled over in the book. It's a good book to get you some interesting facts, get you thinking about stuff you may not have otherwise thought about, and start conversations about all kinds of topics.

I listened to this on audio and it was narrated by the authors. I think this is the way to go. For the most part, they are really engaging.

Surprisingly disappointed by this one. I like the authors, enjoy their podcast, and was crazy about the Freakonomics books. However, this collection of blog posts was frustrating for me. They would touch on interesting topics but for only about a blog posts' amount of time before moving on to something else. I would find myself just getting into the subject and they would move on, like they were teasing me. It got to be unpleasant and I was happy to be done with it. There isn't anything wrong with the reporting. It was just too many wave tops when I wanted deep dives.

Very tough read. Message was hard to grasp since the execution of the book wasn’t the best.

2.5 stars--intellectual popcorn.
