I was personally ever surprised at how much I enjoyed Freakonomics. I had expected a boring book about basic economics, but instead what I received was an interesting book about hidden things that influence our lives. The book was easy to get into, it was entertaining, it didn't feel like a burning professor talking to an inattentive class, and the little anecdotes made it funny and a little but personal. It was a pleasant surprise for me. It just goes to show that shouldn't judge a book by its cover (literally in this case). The book was very good and made me want to pick up the sequel.
Chris i can not agree enough! Freakonomics was what i thought a great read. It was easily my favorite book we read this summer and i loved how the author looked at things differently.
