Bigger, better and more controversial, the international bestselling "Freakquel" is here in a super-deluxe, super-illustrated edition. Steven Levitt, the original rogue economist, and Stephen Dubner look deeper, question harder and uncover even more hidden truths about our world, from terrorism to shark attacks, cable TV to hurricanes.

2.0
A case of a movie being better than the book. Okay, the movie was based on Freakonomics and not this, but still.Honesty, if you are going to write about prostitution, you should look at more than just one city.Still some of it was intersting. Not upset that I either brought or read it.

2.0 SuperFreakonomics: Global Cooling, Patriotic Prostitutes, and Why Suicide Bombers Should Buy Life Insurance
Some parts a little amusing, most parts ideological bullshit posing as 'objective' science. They should have at least stayed in their own field (microeconomics). Not very credible in topics such as health care or climate change.
