Book Review 1/26 : Freakonomics : Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner

First book of the new year, Freakonomics is a book about framing the world slightly differently. It is essentially a collection of essays covering questions as different as crack dealers wages and good parenting. It's an interesting read for sure, though really feels eclectic. It certainly makes you think about things in a different light. They received a lot of controversy over most of the subjects in the book. Did abortion legalization after Roe v Wade impact the drop in crime rate in the 90s? Do realtors scam their clients out thousands of dollars on every home sale? How does racism influence players on "The Weakest Link?"

Check it out. It's a pretty quick read. The added sections after the main book is complete don't really add much in my opinion.
