Completed Book


So we finally completed our Non-Fiction book called Freakonomics. My overview of this book was that this book was based off of many statistics and brought forward facts that most people would not think of. With these statics came different viewpoints and many backup points. I don’t believe this author was trying to convey any message in the whole book but just to bring supporting detail on facts people and readers don't have vision on. The chapters that stood out to our group and that we had the most discussion was mainly chapter 6. Chapter 6 discussed the name variation between your income and color, that chapter really got my attention because I kind of found it humors because the statistics were mainly true plus it had plenty of supporting detail. Another chapter that really got my attention was chapter 4 and how having abortions could slow crime rate down. I felt that there are many viewpoints of this topic so it interested me. For me this book was pretty easy to read just because every chapter brought up a new subject and something new to critically think about. There were so many  examples to reinforce the supporting detail in this book, I found the book helpful because all the information. This book, I would recommend to readers who have the time and would like to read a book that has many topics. So all in all this book was an okay read
