PeterB reviewed Super Freakonomics by Steven D. Levitt
Review of 'Super Freakonomics' on 'Goodreads'
2 stars
SuperFreakonomics is, as you'd expect, a very similar book to Freakonomics.
It's an easy read, it has a lot of interesting tidbits and facts. It's definitely worth your time.
The main premise of this book and the previous one, is that you should be really careful when "the news" starts to talk about scientific studies. With statistics and the proper reading and interpretation of facts, you can prove about anything.
Yet, after reading the book, you can help but think: "Why would SuperFreakonomics be any better at this than many other news sources?"
