Just finished reading Superfreakonomics, the follow up to Freakonomics (I'm only 14 years late with reading the follow up!). I had so wanted to enjoy this book, as I absolutely love the Freakonomics podcast.
Unfortunately, it just felt all over the place, with a lot of focus on climate change. There were bits and pieces that were fairly interesting, like how the birth rate was controlled in India (not contraception, but the introduction of television), and that kangaroo farts don’t have methane (although, from a quick Google search, that is no longer true, they produce about the same amount of methane as animals similar in size). Fortunately, a quick read, so I don't feel that I wasted too much time on something I just didn’t enjoy.
3/5
[Rather read Dan Ariely's Predictably Unpredictable.]
