Really interesting facts.... if you like interesting facts. Freakonomics made me want to delve into the numbers a little more myself. The numbers were all there, their hypothesis seems sound, btu there's just SOMETHING that makes me say "Oh really?" and not want to completely believe them.

Of course, I'm not going to make a priority of disproving them, but I'm not firmly convinced of everything they're talking about... or, it just isn't applicable to life in general.

Either way, you should pick it up and read it. Just please don't get as excited about it as I did. It's about 200 (short) pages, so it's a good bathroom-read type book.
