Steven D. Levitt

Reminds people that while common sense is anything but common there is real practical us for logic and reason in public policy.

all about informed intuition. very good read.

Gimmicky and insubstantial - and a few of their thoeires are wrong.

a must read to see that statistics and probability have realworld application.

A very simple way to get introduced in libertarianism through real life examples... Not a very deep or theorical but perfect for begginers.

awesome book. a really great read, one that will make you think a bit and smile.

it brings economics in a total different level, to be seen from a different point, but it adds all up, loved it!

If you don't think economics matters, try this book anyway. You will have a new respect for data.

Intriguing if somewhat superficial take on applying economic theory to a variety of social issues.

Enjoyed this because it shows the true nature of statistics and danger of making assumptions. Liked section on education because I think much is true.

There really is a hidden side to everything.

Great ideas in first blush yet sloppy in analysis. I wish they had hired a top statistician to do the analysis for them.

An insight into our live and lives around use and why thing happen, made me love economics even more.

as a skeptic, i had trouble buying any of these stories. come up with any bizarre theory and you can conduct research to back it up. overrrrrrrated!

Wow - they made economics interesting!

Nice book - but just when did data analysis become best-seller material?

Eye opening book that challenges conventional wisdom.

Worth a read. If only to have an opinion. I like that he thinks outside the square.

Find out why pools are more dangerous than guns.

More a series of essays than a cohesive book, but an easy read that I'd recommend.

Really awesome to find an entertaining book on economics!

O livro mostra como muitas vezes o senso comum leva as pessoas a conclusões equivocadas, por falta de espírito crítico.

Makes for EXCELLENT conversation starters, even influenced me to buy a matching calendar with one crazy freakonomics fact a day.

An amazing book. Well researched and full of very thoughtful insight.

Interesting perspectives of everday phenomenons. Good read!

A wonderful read!

asdf.
