Superfreakonomics: Global Cooling, Patriotic Prostitutes, and Why Suicide Bombers Should Buy Life Insurance
Steven D. Levitt, Stephen J. Dubner
Interesting read, but biased in various ways. One of the problems with statistics is that a person can twist the numbers to make a point in the way they want.
Their authors do a good job of pointing out many of the gaps in arguments or inaccuracies in studies, but they still leave out others to benefit their arguments. It's frustrating and misleading.
That being said, the book still makes you think, though I fear not everyone sees the gaps.

My 7 year old daughter and I listened to this, and loved it (though she thought it was a sad book because Amy and Dan are orphans and their grandmother also dies).
This was her first real mystery novel. She loved trying to guess at the clues and hypothesize about the answers. For an adult reading this on their own, the story may seem forced or obvious. But for an adult reading it with a cold, getting to experience it with them... You'll love it.

Nice easy read with a cute premise. A little awkwardly written and times, hence the 3 stars instead of 4, but I got over it and enjoyed the book in the end.
Read this based on a recommendation from my dear friend, Jen. I loved it. Can't wait to read it with my daughter.
A bit too scripture-heavy for me, but a good story. It was interesting reading a book with a character with my same name whom I could relate to a lot.
Enjoyable, romance novel with some interesting and likable characters. I liked the strength that the main character, George Ann, shows.
It's good to intersperse some cheesy easy reads in between the heavier nonfiction I've read recently.
