Who would have believed a book about economics or statistics could be a great read? Levitt takes a fresh look at many societal issues and uses statistics to come up with very interesting insights. This book is well worth reading!

The front cover says, "Prepare to be dazzled." While I wasn’t quite to the point of dazzlement, I nevertheless found this book quite fascinating. The author explores how seemingly unrelated things are, in fact, connected, and how others that seem to be related actually aren’t. It was a quick read, definitely a page-turner, and my only complaint is that it was simply too short. While I’m not an economist, it seemed that Mr. Levitt is merely scratching the surface of "the hidden sides of everything." I hope a sequel is in store.
