[edit] I like the way it made me think

This is a very interesting book. Toward the end though I was worried that I was thinking too much like an economist.

[edit] good fast read

Great book. Very scientific and calculating analysis of everyday things that I would have never even questioned before reading it. Provides some fresh insights on topics such as standardized tests in public education, real estate agents, politicians, etc. The author also draws some controversial conclusions that have garnered some attention in the news recently, mainly involving the author's theory of how abortion may have lowered the crime rate over the last decade.
