Short Book Review: Blink
Filed under: General

Trust your instincts? This author describes what those instincts are really based on. He illustrates how they can work for you or against you.

Informative and entertaining. Worth a read, probably worth owning. This one has a central theme.

Short Book Review: Freakonomics

An entertaining book. It’s worth a read, but probably not worth buying. You get exactly what the author says - a series of interesting and essentially unrelated stories on various topics. There is no central unifying theme. I’m not certain what there is to really learn from this book except that abortion appears to have a tremendous effect in slowing the crime rate.

Nonetheless, it is an entertaining read.
