Here is what people are saying about the Freakonomics: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything (P.S.) (1st Edition)
4 Star Rating  "Thought Provoking"2010-03-09
- Reviewed By Marc Emmer from Los Angeles, CA
Economist Steven Levitt's "Freakonomics" is witty, whimsical and provocative. In the genre of The Tipping Point, Levitt reaches some interesting conclusions about a broad range of socio-economic patterns and trends. From the relationship between school teachers and Sumo Wrestlers to the role of Roe vs. Wade on crime, Freakonomics studies unique relationships in our culture that have important implications for the way we live and work.
 
5 Star Rating  "Unique connections"2010-03-08
- Reviewed By Kylee Craig
Freakonomics is a book written to inform readers of many interesting, yet surprising facts. The main theme-if there is one in the story-is to show the power incentives have over the population. The book does a great job of drawing two unlikely things together and finding a connection between them. For instance, the chapter that concerns sumo wrestling corruption relates this topic to school teachers cheating. While these two topics seem to be on completely different levels, Levitt and Dubner manage to find unique connections between both. These tremendous connections make the story more intriguing and keep the reader wanting more. The simplicity of the topics helps to keep readers relating pieces of the book back to their own lives. Another part of life that is brought up in the story and that can be overlooked is a name. Ironically, this part of someone can drastically change a person's potential career opportunities. The authors do a wonderful job of connecting aspects of daily life to a bigger picture of how simple actions can affect one's future. The sources present throughout the book are legitimate and show the critical thinking that went into the making of the novel. While there is no definite motif present or an underlying theme, the book leaves readers curious about the inner workings of society.
 
5 Star Rating  "Gymnastics For the Mind: Viewing from a Different Angle"2010-03-02
- Reviewed By Routnom
This book was so well written that I couldn't put it down. One chapter ended with a "tickler" and led logically to the next. Most importantly it invited the reader to consider a broader range of factors that may, or may not, have led to events. Certainly the juxtaposition of materials, previously not considered related, gives one pause.

Being open to the points made creates a kind of gymnastics of the mind that is refreshing at any age. Also, I learned some new facts and quotes.

Loved the hardback from the library but had to buy a copy for myself.
 
5 Star Rating  "Obviously Controversial"2010-02-27
- Reviewed By David W. Southworth from Alexandria, VA United States
When this book was published it generated a great deal of controversy, and it is easy to see why right off the bat. The authors begin their study of "rogue economics" with the assertion that studies prove a correlation between the legalization of abortion in 1973 and the decrease in crime in the 1990s. While this is not the only controversial topic Levett and Dubner discuss, it gives you a flavor of what the aim Freakonomics is. Dubner and Leverett have done an excellent job of taking dense academic studies and turning them into well written stories. Freakonomics has inspired a few imitators since its publication. It is easy to find issues with some of the assertions in the book, but that does not detract from the thought provoking nature of this book. That in itself makes this book well worth the read.
 
2 Star Rating  "Disappointing"2010-02-26
- Reviewed By Steve Purcell from Seattle
I wanted to like this book, really. But it seems I'm always at odds over opinions about books that become popular favorites.

There's really nothing here. The author seems to think their new look at economics and incentives somehow is so revolutionary that it merits it's a new name. But any decent scientist or engineer is deeply familiar with this kind of thinking and wouldn't be surprised by anything in the book.

It's not a bad book. It's kind of fun and interesting. But with so many other things out there to read and so little time it's not worth it.

 
4 Star Rating  "Creative view of life"2010-02-22
- Reviewed By Don M. Greer
This book views life from a different and creative viewpoint. It is thought provoking. Well worth reading, perhaps even reading several times. It will provide thoughts which are sure to enliven your next cocktail party conversation.
