1. I read this book a few months ago, and it is really, really interesting. The author draws some very unique conclusions from the information he gathers. The book, even though it deals with economics, is very, very entertaining.
   Keep up the good work…

2. Levitt does a great job of keeping it interesting, but I felt like the book really slowed down at the end. The information on Parenting just seemed like it was dumbed down too much and frankly dragged on for too long. That being said, overall it was a good read!

3. I read the book when it first came out and thought it was a fun and fast read. I must say, however, that most of the book is really pure statistical analysis not economics.

   As you said, not much in the way of useful info for investing or personal finance.

5. While I enjoyed Freakonomics, I preferred the Undercover Economist. I just finished the latter and I thought it was well done. It’s written in a similar, easy-to-read fashion, but explains how consumers use economics in their everyday economic decision making.

   The book provides a beginner’s education on a broad-based economic theory ranging from the basic to cutting edge.

   I’ll try to post a review on Financial Revolution.
