Freakonomics: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything is a 2005 non-fiction book by Steven Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner. It was fascinating. My favorite part, by far, is the end whereas the author asks, 'what is the purpose of this information' and they answer a resounding 'um...no real purpose except to make you think'. Basically, it is a book that makes one think. It gives a totally new perspective on the world and to speak frankly, I like it. The book discussing cheating, parenting, drug dealing, the KKK, naming kids, and abortion. Just a quick glance at the topic matter would give someone an immediate indication that this is literature that truly runs the gamut. There isn't too much to say except the book served its purpose...it made me think!
