Is it permissible to review a book before you have finished reading it?
I am reading 'Freakonomics' by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner.
It's the sort of book I bought because Dave was interested in it, I would probably have ignored it. Anyway I started reading it ages ago, then put it down. Now I am reading it again and remembering how much I enjoyed it when I first started reading it - why did I stop?
It carries a secondary heading of 'A rogue economist explores the hidden side of everything' so far they have looked at cheating in many different forms, discrimination and misusing knowledge. I don't know that I agree with everything, though a lot does ring true. It is written in a very accessible, entertaining way.
