This review is from: When to Rob a Bank: ...And 131 More Warped Suggestions and Well-Intended Rants (Kindle Edition)
This is a collection of the best blogs from the Freakonomics authors. I don't know why this book is getting such overall low reviews. It represents the same thinking outside the box attitude that we know and love from the two previous Freakonomics books. The writing has the same wry sense of humor, and is thought stimulating. Some of the blogs are funny stories, such as when one of them forgot he had his research papers about terrorism in his bag, and got held for questioning when he tried to go through airport security. Another favorite of mine was about being served rancid chicken in a high end restaurant, and even though the manager agreed that the chicken had turned, she refused to comp his meal. So, he published the story and the name of the restaurant in the NYT. Now, there was a lesson in customer service for her! I found this book to be very entertaining and mentally stimulating. I wonder if the people who gave it low ratings might have been unfamiliar with the Freakonomics way of thinking.
