I really enjoyed Freakonomics, so I was excited to read the sequel. I was not disappointed. The book is interesting and fun to read. I enjoyed learning about different topics and different people in each chapter.
A quick summary: It’s really hard to provide a summary for this one, since each chapter talked about something different. So, I will just copy the chapter titles here:
- How is a street prostitute like a department-store Santa?
- Why should suicide bombers buy life insurance?
- Unbelievable stories about apathy and altruism
- The fix is in – and it’s cheap and simple
- What do Al Gore and Mount Pinutabo have in common?
- Epilogue: Monkeys are people too
Don’t the chapter titles sound interesting? I have to say, whenever I got to a new chapter and saw the title, I couldn’t wait to read more.
Freakonomics was actually one of the first nonfiction books I enjoyed. Reading that book made me start reading more nonfiction. Superfreakonomics was as good as Freakonomics, so I would definitely recommend it, whether you’re really into nonfiction or just want to try and see whether nonfiction is something you would enjoy.
Although I enjoy nonfiction, I usually read more fiction than nonfiction. It's a bit surprising that my first two posts are about nonfiction books....But there will be some fiction coming this way soon!
