  • 1/3 of book is notes and citations

    I liked all their other books quite a bit. Very disappointed in this one. Similar themes and story telling, and 80 pages of notes and citations at the end. If I realized that beforehand I definitely wouldn't have bought this.

    What begins as an interesting read, ends too quickly and abruptly. It is as though they got bored writing and decide to just stop, thinking that they could get consumers to buy with what they had and little thought for a quality conclusion. They must have flipped the coin and decided to quit. Sorry guys, I expected more.
  • The book is very practical and clear

    I have not read the first 2 books but I enjoyed this one … so much so that I am going to try Freakonomics… I hope it sheds even more light.

    I really enjoyed their first two books but this one is a complete waste of time and money. Do yourself a favor and think of another book to buy.

    Not much happening in this book that will surprise you. A few clever connections and examples, but the majority of the theme -- teaching you to think differently -- is pretty dull. Not a lot of major revelations here, just a few new examples superimposed on some old cliche themes. That said, it's still an entertaining read.
  • Slightly disappointed with content.

    I am an avid reading and listener of all things freakonomics. I listen to the podcast every week and absolutely love the content of each podcast. However, I was surprised and slightly disappointed as I read this new book to find that a great majority of the books content has already been said in podcasts of past. I was looking forward to hearing new and fun studies and topics in this new book but heard a lot of things I've already heard!
  • Not as good as the first two

    With 1/3 of the book being notes, acknowledgement and index, I was a bit disappointed. I did enjoy the content and will most likely read again in the future.
  • Freakonomics v.3 - a short, good read

    It's almost as good as freakonomics, which means it's pretty good. The downside is that there's considerable repetition of themes and examples covered in the previous two volumes. Also, about a third of the book is taken up by notes and bibliography.
