Freakonomics

I think Freakonomics does a good job in hammering in the core message of statistics and economics (huge overlap between the two honestly) which is that the most obvious factor of causing something isn't always the right answer and that many (hidden) things are behind it. I do wish that the book had a more unifying theme so that they can hammer in lessons and educate the reader rather than throwing a bunch of facts at me until I was purple and blue with tidbits of info. Otherwise, nice read, but I wouldn't buy this to learn about economics.

I also found it quite weird that there were quotes included from a NYT article defending Levitt's work and person LOL
