Not as good as the first one. Still interesting though.
Levitt artfully and consistently threads the difference between correlation and causality, especially in the context of parenting and socioeconomic challenges, throughout his discussion. Although he declares no theme to his book, it is certainly an enlightening presentation.
Great follow up to the original, really opens up your eyes to new perspectives.
Dynamic, interesting, challenging, and sometimes uncomfortable, this book challenges how you perceive human interactions and motivations.
Good accessible book, very solid for those interested in getting into modern economics
Still interesting, but the part I was much much better!
Not a perfect book, but as usual very interesting and well thought out. Though many people will have problems with some of the statements, they came across as mostly scientific. Enjoy the fact that they make interesting connections, interesting thoughts and most importantly the fact that it helps remind people that data matters.

I really enjoyed this book as I knew I would. I enjoyed the first book and the podcasts so I looked forward to this book. It definitely did not disappoint. The author (I forget which one) narrated and did an excellent job. If you're looking for a well-written amalgamation of historical and contemporary facts and anecdotes all related in one form or another to economics, this is the book for you. I highly recommend this book.
